Marshmallows

Marshmallows aren’t the easiest treat to make, so this recipe will require lots of adult supervision and a helping hand. However, the method is fun and when you get to the end result you won’t even believe you made them! Colour them with a drop of food colouring or flavour them with your choice of extract!

Ingredients

  • 10 Sheets Gelatine (Dr Oetker)
  • 350ml Water
  • 500g Caster Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Liquid Glucose
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 50g Icing Sugar
  • 50g Cornflour
  • Oil, for greasing

Directions

  1. Separate the leaves of gelatine and tip into a glass bowl. Pour over 150ml of boiling water and stir until the gelatine has completely dissolved. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl.
  2. Tip the caster sugar and liquid glucose into a saucepan with 200ml water and vigorously boil until the mixture reaches 127C.
  3. Whisk the gelatine mixture with an electronic hand mixer and slowly pour in the sugar water. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whisk on high for 8 minutes until the mixture is thick and shiny.
  4. Lightly grease a 20x20cm tin. Use a greased spatula to scrape the mixture into the tin and level it out.
  5. Leave to rest for an hour and then loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a worksurface dusted with cornflour. Use a knife dipped in water to cut the marshmallow into squares and dust with icing sugar.
