Sugar - 350 grams
Glucose syrup - 175 grams
Water - 250 ml
Gelatin - 15 grams
Powdered sugar - about 100 grams
Step 1:
Soak 15 grams of gelatin in about half a cup of cold water and set aside.
Step 2:
Combine 350 grams of sugar, 175 grams of honey and 175 grams of glucose syrup, and half a cup of water in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stop stirring as the syrup comes to boil, and skim the surface to remove any impurities.
Step 3:
Cook without stirring, until the syrup reaches 120°C. Wash down the sides of the pot using a wet pastry brush from time to time. When the syrup reaches 120°C, remove the saucepan from the heat and cool the syrup to 100°C.
Step 4:
While the syrup in cooling, melt the gelatin in a bowl set over simmering water.
Step 5:
Pour the syrup into the bowl of a stand mixer, and add the melted gelatin.
Step 6:
Whip on high speed until stiff (medium peaks), and cools to 35 – 45°C (95 -110°F).
Step 7:
Spread the mixture into a 20×20 cm baking pan, lined with parchment paper or plastic wrap and lightly brushed with oil. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top and use a spatula to spread the marshmallow mixture evenly.
Step 8:
Allow to set for at least 10 hours.
Step 9:
Sprinkle a cutting board with powdered sugar, Remove the parchment paper and invert the pan onto the cutting board. Unmold, peel of the plastic wrap and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Step 10:
Cut the marshmallow into 2 cm squares, dusting with confectioner’s sugar as necessary. You could mix the powdered sugar with starch – add 1 teaspoon of starch to 1 cup of icing sugar.
Step 11:
Store the marshmallows in a single layer in an airtight container (you can separate layers with parchment paper). Make s’mores, roast marshmallows sitting around a fire, or enjoy with hot chocolate! Visit our website to find a delicious apple based Russian style Marshmallow – Zephyr.
