How to cook marshmallows?
Irina Chadeeva recommends the following cooking process:
- Pour agar-agar with the specified amount of cold water and leave for 30-60 minutes. Then put on the stove and bring to a boil. The thickener grains must be completely dissolved. Without removing from heat, add 475 grams of sugar. After boiling, continue to cook for five minutes. The mixture must be constantly stirred during the cooking process. The mass must be brought to a state where a thin thread will stretch behind the spatula raised from the syrup. After that, remove the container from the heat and leave it for a while to cool the contents.
- Take a large bowl. Put puree in it. Add sugar (vanilla and remaining regular) and half the egg white. Beat the mixture with a mixer or blender. Add half the protein and mix at high speed until the mass becomes lush and thick.
- Gently pour in the hot (but not boiling) syrup, whisking constantly. Stir for a few minutes until the mass resembles meringue in consistency.
- Next, you need to act very quickly. Indeed, in products containing agar-agar, stabilization processes begin even at 40 ° C. The resulting mass should be transferred to a cornet with a nozzle and marshmallows should be deposited on parchment. You will need a lot of space, because you get about 60 marshmallows.
- Leave marshmallows to set at room temperature. After 24 hours, the product will stabilize and its surface will turn into a thin sugar crust. Next, sprinkle the marshmallows with powdered sugar and glue the halves in pairs. Their bases are quite sticky, so the product will set well.
If the hostess follows the recommendations and observe the indicated proportions, the marshmallow will turn out tender and airy, assures Irina Chadeeva.
