Pink and white vanilla marshmallows from Gifts from the Kitchen by Annie Rigg. |
Pink and white vanilla marshmallows Homemade marshmallows are the stuff of dreams! They are light as pink fluffy clouds, oh-so-sweet and with just a hint of pure vanilla extract. Cut into squares and package into pretty pink- and white-striped bags for hen nights, girly birthday parties and Valentine's Day treats. Makes about 30 1 tablespoon icing sugar 1 tablespoon cornflour 2 tablespoons powdered gelatine 400g granulated sugar 50g golden syrup 2 large egg whites pinch of salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pink food colouring paste Mix the icing sugar and cornflour in a small bowl. Lightly grease a 23cm square tin with a depth of about 5cm with a little sunflower oil and dust with the icing sugar and cornflour mix, tipping out and reserving the excess. Measure 6 tablespoons of cold water into another small bowl, sprinkle over the gelatine and set aside. Tip the sugar into a medium-sized pan, add 250ml water and the golden syrup and place the pan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to the boil and continue to cook steadily until the syrup reaches 120C/250F on a sugar thermometer. Remove from the heat, add the sponged gelatine and stir until thoroughly combined and the gelatine has melted. Place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add a pinch of salt and whisk until the whites hold a stiff peak. Add the vanilla and the hot gelatine syrup in a steady stream and continue to whisk for a further 3–4 minutes, until the mixture will hold a ribbon trail when the beaters are lifted from the bowl. Pour half the mixture into the prepared tin in an even layer. Add a tiny amount of pink food colouring paste to the remaining mixture and stir until evenly coloured. Pour the pink marshmallow over the white and leave to set (at least 2 hours). Once the marshmallow has completely set, dust the work surface or a board with the remaining icing sugar and cornflour mixture. Carefully tip the marshmallow out on to the prepared board and cut into squares, using a sharp knife. Dust the individual marshmallows before packaging. • Package in striped paper bags. Stored in an airtight box, the marshmallows will keep for 3 days. |
