Homemade marshmallows

Cake by VioletK@photobucket

Kids usually love marshmallows, my daughter like to sprinkle it on her chocolate smoothie. Making marshmallows doesn’t involve any baking, but I thought it would be nice to know how to make one, especially when we can make marshmallow fondant out of it. And maybe this tutorial will be helpful in areas where it is not easy to get halal marshmallows. This recipe is taken from my favourite book, “The River Cottage Family Cookbook” by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Fizz Carr. Be careful as it involves boiling sugar.

Ingredient
Icing sugar - 1 tablespoon
Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
Vegetable oil to oil the pan and knife
Gelatin powder - 1 tablespoon
Food colouring
Egg white - 2
Granulated sugar - 2 cups (gula kasar biasa)
Water - 1 1/2 cup

Method

Sift the icing sugar and cornflour. Take a shallow square pan (I use the one to make swiss roll). Grease it with a generous amount of vegetable oil, then coat with the sugar mixture. Set aside.
