First of all, let me say that when I make marshmallows, my husband thinks I'm the coolest person ever to walk the earth. It amazes him that I can put those things together, and magically make marshmallows appear. It would appear that my baked goods have made me a minor celebrity at his place of employment as well. S has called me "Amazing!" and F has suggested that I open a bakery. This is all very flattering, but the only type of bakery I'd ever really want to open would be a cupcake bakery, and there are already so many good ones so close to my house that I don't really think I'd be able to compete. So, I'll stick to making awesome treats at home, and amazing the people in my circle of influence.
Now! On to the marshmallows! I used Alton Brown's recipe (
found here). I did exactly everything that he says to do, making the regular marshmallows, not the minis. They turned out PERFECTLY! They're great for melting in cocoa, and very yummy to eat as is. The next time I make this, I'll be altering them a bit. Playing with coloring and flavors. But for a first time foray into "real" marshmallows (as opposed to marshmallow topping on s'more pies) it was a complete success. Wanna see them? You know you do!
