French marshmallow

French marshmallow

Overview

I have never liked hard candies since I was a child, and my favorite is crescent-shaped orange-red soft candies. But conditions were not good when I was a child, and I didn’t have many opportunities to eat sweets. Although this marshmallow is French, I have never eaten a real French marshmallow, but that’s what the original recipe said, so I just copied it. I don’t remember where I got the recipe. I’ve done it a few times and I think it’s pretty good. This sugar is not complicated to make, but you must have a baking thermometer. The temperature of the syrup is very important.

  9. Unmold and cut into pieces. When cutting, scald the knife with hot water and wipe it dry to make it easier to cut. During the cutting process, gummy may stick to the knife, so wipe it off with a hot and wet towel.
