Homemade marshmallow

Andy and I had one of those evenings when we just wanted to do some baking.... Since we finally found a liquid egg white (we got one called "Two Chicks". It's an awesome stuff.) and I love marshmallows, we decided to make some homemade marshmallows...

We've made marshmallows before but this was the first time that we used a recipe that requires boiling sugar. Two of us working and with an electric mixture, it was indeed pretty easy. Fun stuff:) Within 30 minutes, we had our own homemade marshmallows melting in our mouths.. Oooh, ever so sweet and smooth... none of those shop bought one can beat them!!

To keep marshmallows from sticking on the baking tray, we spread toasted coconuts but you can also use cornflour.

Ingredients;

Sugar 400g

Water

Egg white 120g

Gelatin leaves 6

Coconuts flakes

1. Soak gelatin leaves in cold water.

2. Make the syrup. Place sugar in a pan and cover it with water. Heat up the sugar and water until it reaches 121ºc.

3. Beat egg white with an electric mixer until it's fluffy. Gradually add the syrup while whisking egg white continuously.

4. When the egg white mixture is shiny and thick, squeeze gelatin leaves and mix them into the mixture.

5. Spread the mixture on a baking tray dusted with coconuts. Place the tray in the fridge for the marshmallow to set.
