Marshmallow

Preparation Time - 15 minutes
Cooking Time - 15 minutes
Refrigeration Time - 2 – 4 Hours

Ingredients
  • 3 large egg whites (optional)
  • 9 tsp. Gelatin
  • 700 g  sugar
  • 2 tbsp. liquid glucose
  • Vanilla pod or vanilla flavour
  • Sunflower oil for coating the tray
  • 100 g Icing sugar
  • 4 tbsp. cornflour
Preparation
  1. Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl using beaters. Whisk until soft peaks form, then set aside. Put the gelatin in a deep bowl and cover it with 200 ml of normal water to soften.
  2. Put the sugar, liquid glucose and 300 ml water in a large, high-sided saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches 130 deg C on a sugar thermometer. Take the pan off the heat then add the gelatin and the water they were soaked into the hot sugar. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved. Then carefully pour the mixture into a heatproof jug.
  3. Return the beaters to egg whites and whip up further until stiff peaks form. Keep whisking while you slowly pour in the warm syrup in a steady stream. Keep beating the mixture until it is smooth and shiny, then add the vanilla flavour. Continue to use the beaters for around 8-10 mins or until the mixture is noticeably thicker.
  4. Mix well the icing sugar and cornflour together. Take a greased baking tray and then sprinkle a third of the icing sugar mixture into the tray to coat the inside. Pour in the marshmallow mixture, level with a spatula and cool to room temperature. Leave it to set for 2 – 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  5. Spread a large sheet of butter paper and sieve another third of the cornflour sugar mix over it. Upturn the set marshmallow onto the dusted sheet. Dust with a little more of the cornflour sugar.
  6. Cut the marshmallows into small squares approx. 3cm x 3cm. Coat the marshmallow cubes in the remaining icing sugar mix on all sides otherwise, they will stick. Serve directly or keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
