Make your own marshmallows

Pattisserie is the name of the book published in May (2016) by 24-Kitchen pastry chef and nougatier Hidde de Brabander. We’re curious how many minutes it will take you to eat these 40 marshmallows.

Method

Boil the sugar, water, vanilla and glucose to 127 degrees Celsius. Measure this precisely with a cooking thermometer. Whisk the egg whites using a whisk (with a KitchenAid). Add the cooked sugar mixture, followed by the gelatin. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Pour the mixture onto a layer of powdered sugar or finely ground coconut and smooth it out. Leave it to set overnight, then cut it into cubes with a clean knife. Depending on the size, this makes around forty pieces.
