Hacks and useful information about making marshmallows at home

1. So, why bother making marshmallows at home at all?

Of course, this is the first question that will arise in your head! If marshmallows are easily available in the store, then why go all the way to go through the trouble of getting them done at home? Well, the answer is pretty simple and basic! Store-bought marshmallows are not as good or up to the mark as homemade ones!

There is no other way to sugarcoat the words, as the truth has been spoken. They simply lack the coziness, sense of comfort, fluffy texture, and soft touch! So if you wish to be introduced to the true authentic flavors of marshmallows, my friends, you have to make them at home.

2. So, what kind of sugar is used for the preparation of marshmallows at home?

Slowly we are going to break down to you all the essentials that you need to gather as you make some yummy and tender marshmallows at home! First, let's talk about the sugar that you are about to use. White cane sugar is the most commonly used option, while granulated sugar is the best since they mix well.

Unrefined raw sugar or brown sugar is also used for making marshmallows, but the technique is slightly different. Maple syrup or honey is a good enough substitute as well. The process certainly varies when it comes to raw sugar, as the water content is higher in the case of the latter.

3. Is it possible for you to make homemade marshmallows without corn syrup?

Corn syrup is used to prevent crystallization in the sugar syrup, so in the absence of corn syrup, you might find it hard to make marshmallows at home. Other substitutes for corn syrup include agave, maple, golden syrup, or honey. If you do not use corn syrup, then you need to prevent yourself from stirring the mixture at all.

4. Can you use gelatin or agar?

Here is a good question to answer when it comes to making marshmallows at home! Now let us address your concern. Gelatin is the setting agent for making marshmallows, but if you are vegan, then you can substitute the former with agar instead. However, this is to be noted that the texture of the marshmallows will definitely vary when you use agar instead of gelatin! Unless you are a vegan, there is no need for you to experiment with agar!

5. Why do you need to add egg whites to the marshmallow mixture?

Egg whites are whisked well and then added to the mixture! This is a practice that is often observed among the French while they make marshmallows! The presence of egg whites makes your marshmallows extremely fluffy, tender, and light.

So that is more or less all you need to know about making marshmallows! Now, let's find out some recipes before Christmas gets over!
