Preparation
For half an hour we soak gelatin in water at room temperature.
Sugar and 200 ml of water in a saucepan. Slowly stirring, bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to heat and add glucose. To boil should be intense enough.
We beat the proteins into a stable foam.
We pour taste-forming fruit juice into sugar syrup, and then connect it with gelatin solution and whipped egg whites. Mix together intensively with a mixer. The mixture must be saturated with air particles, as evidenced by the appearance of many bubbles.
Pour the mixture into a smeared with melted butter and a rectangular shallow form. Try to ensure that the liquid is distributed evenly along the bottom.
You can level the surface of the mixture by using a clean wet spatula or spatula.
We put the form in the refrigerator for 8 hours at least.
The layer of the frozen mixture is put on a plate and we cut the candy with a knife. Even easier to use for pouring special silicone molds for candy, which is very convenient.
We break the chocolate and melt it in a separate dish in a water bath. Each marshmallow candy with a wooden toothpick is immersed in warm chocolate, then we roll in a mixture of powdered sugar and starch. Let's cool down and the home-made dainty marshmallow is ready.
