I made marshmallows after so so long! I'll tell you why. Earlier when I used to make them, they never really turned out all nice and fluffy like they're supposed to, that's because I'm too lazy to actually beat them too hard..its a lot of hard work, you know! And so, I waited for the perfect day to buy myself one of those electric whisks..I had my eyes set on a KitchenAid, but who was i kidding?! A KitchenAid easily available in India?? Well, lets just hope that happens soon. But yeah, I finally got my Mumma to buy me a Philips Hand Whisk! And now I've finally put it to some good use! I made some OH-SO-FLUFFY, MELT-IN-THE-MOUTH MARSHMALLOWS. These clouds of heaven are sure to take you to Marshmallow Heaven!
You need just four ingredients to make the marshmallows! And its so very easy to make them. Also, you don't even need to use a candy thermometer. Just carefully observe while the sugar melts or else what you could also do is, take a small bowl and fill it with some cold water, just when the sugar melts, take a little of the syrup and drop it into the bowl of water. Collect the syrup into a ball in the cold water; if it holds its shape and is soft, the syrup is ready to be taken off the heat. In case it's hard, then it means that you've overcooked the syrup and if it doesn't form a ball and just falls away, it would mean that you need to cook the sugar a bit longer. But keep checking after 10 seconds and don't let the sugar overcook. Just be very observant!
