Add the rest of the syrup, flavoring, and food coloring if desired. Whip until fluffy and doubled in bulk. Pour into parchment-lined pan. Let set at least 24 hours before cutting.

| Notes: | Add food color and flavor to desired color / taste.
Everyone I know that's tried it with corn syrup and cane syrup, prefers the latter. I have also made this by putting all of the syrup, sugar, and half the water in the saucepan to heat; bloom the gelatin in the other half; then bring it together before moving to the mixer. Seems to work fine. This streamlines things if making a single batch, as you can start by making half a batch of the cane syrup at http://www.wetleather.com/recipes/show-898, let it cool 15-20 minutes, then move forward with this recipe. Many recipes call for moving powdered sugar with corn starch out rice flower; I don't like the texture, so straight sugar fit me. Takes a little more, but at this point... Marshmallows! What was the question? |
