I ended up with a subscription to Bon Appetit because I needed to use up some frequent flyer miles. Summer is a good time for me to experiment in the kitchen because I have more time.
This month, I came across a recipe for marshmallows. And thought, "wow, you can make your own marshmallows?"
Like most people, I thought mallows had to be made by a company somewhere and were not something one could easily construct in one's own kitchen.
Boy was I wrong!
Shockingly easy. No fancy ingredients. You'll have to beat them with a mixer for awhile so a standmixer would be handy, but is not a necessity.
So, then your question is not why should you make your own marshmallows? But, why shouldn't you?
Because the final product is seriously yummy.
The bowl is fun to lick.
And, you may never be able to return to the manufactured version again because the homemade ones are soft and chewy, flavorful and airy.
Impress your friends and family. Or, forget them and just keep them all to yourself.
I dropped one in a cup of my favorite hot chocolate (heat milk, add a spoonful of nutella a.k.a. chocolate hazelnut spread, warm until blended). Yum.
