Just a quick post on my adventure in making some handmade Marshmallows today using Alton Browns recipe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/homemade-marshmallows-recipe/index.html
Defiantly not a simple recipe but did turn out to be easier than I thought it would be!
I used the pulp of one Vanilla bean instead of the vanilla extract, it gave me little flecks of vanilla throughout the finished marshmallows, which I liked!
Make sure your spatula is well sprayed with a pan spray before scooping the marshmallow mixture from the mixing bowl, it made it easier to spread into the prepped pan, work fairly quickly as it didn't take long for the mixture to start to set up...I used a 9 x 13 foil pan.
After 4 hours I flipped them out onto dusted foil and used a pizza cutter to cut them into pieces dusting after each cut.
After tasting these wondrous fluffy little bites, I know that Ive been fooled for all these years by those bagged cloyingly sweet globs that are known as Marshmallows, and will most likely never buy another bag of them again.
The recipe made a nice pile of marshmallows (40 to 50 pieces) and I noticed that the next day the vanilla flavor was much more pronounced!
