It's called... MARSHMALLOW
By: Shar-on Mar 19, 2004
This recipe is one of my Mom's which she would use to top cookies at Christmas or make marshmallow as a candy. Its really simply. The cooking time is the preparation as well. This does not include the setting time.
1 batch Ingredients * 2 tablespoons gelatin * 1/2 cup cold water * 2 cups sugar * 3/4 cup boiling water * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions 1. Soak gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. 2. Boil sugar with boiling water until syrup tests thread stage. 3. Add softened gelatin to syrup and let stand until partly cooled. 4. Add salt and vanilla, then beat until fluffy and stiff. 5. Spread mixture on cookies, then dip into flaked coconut or crushed corn flakes. 6. Let set before storing. 7. Place wax paper between layers of cookies to keep them from sticking together. 8. For candy, put into a greased cake pan and let it set. 9. After it has set, cut into 1 inch pieces, dipping them into coconut, corn flakes crumbs, crushed nuts or what you like. 10. Place in a container where the pieces will not touch, or they could stick together. 11. Enjoy!
Your problem isn't that you can't get the heat high enough... it's that your recipe is for a fluffy marshmallow-type frosting. If you want something that's more like a thin glaze, you need a different sort of recipe, somthing that's thin and not beat until fluffy.
What is it you're trying to achieve?
