I've been experimenting with marshmallows. They are very tasty, and really quite easy to do.
Because I couldn't find any recipes that I both particularly liked and that were formatted in such a way that printing the webpage actually, you know, included all the information (I'm looking at you, BBC Food (appears to have formatted the text to be two pages wide while not actually including the second page: argh, argh, what's the temperature of the sugar supposed to be?) and jamesmartinchef.co.uk (doesn't include the bloody ingredients....); I didn't even want to rely on Mr Fearnley-Miss-Out-A-Few-Steps, although actually his one looks ok and sensibly includes directions for both leaf and powder gelatine. Props to Delicious for including instructions on how to use different kinds of flavouring, although the absence of egg white in their recipe seems odd.), I cobbled together various recipes to get this one, which I shall record for posterity. Takes about an hour, although that may just be me: both the steps that are apparently supposed to take five to ten minutes (boiling the sugar, mixing it all together at the end) seem to be more like 15-20 for me. Only covers powdered gelatine, as that's what I had in the cupboard; I may try to tweak it to use a more sensible amount, as it's currently 1.333 sachets.
Because I'm a slacker, I chose not to separate half a dozen duck eggs in order to get two large egg whites. Carton egg white is a wonderful thing, I just wonder what to do with the rest of it.
