I bet you alway's wondered: "Where do marshmallows come from? Are they puffs of air? Are they given by some magical person that comes to houses late at night? Are they pieces of clouds fallen from the sky? They very well could be all of those things but there is a way to take all or least some of the wonder out of marshmallows. What's that? Well it is simple by making them ourselves of course! You are going to need a parent so grab one that is close by! Here is how to make marshmallows!
- 1 cup of water + 1 more cup of water for the marshmallow root
- 1 tablespoon of "magical" marshmallow root [if you can't find because it's magical that's OK! :-) ]
- 4 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup of honey (from a friendly bee. Make sure you say please!)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla
Boil a cup of water and pour it over the marshmallow root. Stir it and let sit for 5 minutes then drain water. Combine 1/2 cup of water with gelatin and side aside. Pour other half of water with that honey from a bee you asked in a saucepan and heat until it reaches 240 degrees (make sure you don't stir the honey and water!). Now after you do that have your mommy or daddy mix with a mixer the gelatin and honey for 5-10 minutes (pour the honey very slowly while mixing). Once it has turned into a white fluff spread in a 9x13 pan greased or covered in parchment paper and let sit for 8 hours. I know it takes a while but the magic has to set! After that have your mom or dad cut the marshmallows into squares with a knife dipped in oil (coconut oil please!). And there you have it! Delicious fluffy and puffy marshmallows!
