Urgent help with vegetarian gelatin

[KatyMac]

My recipe says use hot

My packet of geletine says dissolve in cold

How do I heat it up? Or can I just use hot water?

Please help

Marshmallows depend on this

Or do I use it cold

The packet says to boil it? Like in a pan

you don't do that with gelatin

i hate to tell you this but it won't make marshmallows

really. honestly. it won't.

i have been attempting to make veggie marshmallows for some time...

Well I don't think it will work

Oh - I think I came to the same conclusion

Bugger

It's now completely clear.....I'm sure that's not right

actually i may be lying!!!!!

because i need to make them without egg, which makes it particularly difficult.
so of course if you're using egg whites and it's only the gelatine you're changing it might work????

hmmm

which gelatine do you have?

It's an odd marshmallow recipe anyway

No egg.......

Dr Oetker

ahh no egg is the bummer i'm afraid.

the best looking recipe i've come across so far is this one

but it's very complicated and very american.

is it urgent? because there are places you can buy them from online

Back later

DD off drumming

Yes Please online for next Wed

Can have egg....just no meat stuff

here you go!

The price

Blimey

Aha found a recipe with eggs

It hasn't set yet.....I'm not hopeful

It is nearly almost set

I found a similar recipe, so I will try again

Just treated DD to some veggie marshmallows from thet site and will report back. I have tried making my owm < sob sob> but with little success.

She is having a baby tea next weekend and I shall do a Taa-Dah ! moment and present her with the aforementioned sweeties.

i am now tempted to go and have another try at mine.
last time was an unmitigated disaster. mainly beucase i am an idiot, but partly because of my ingredients lol

Well my recipe has eggs loads of sugar & gelatin

But I had the proportions wrong as I used the geletin/sugar from the recipe that didn't work

DH says he is looking forward to the gooey stuff it with ice cream

See I can't use gelatine as DD is vegetarian and marshmallows just are too too difficult without.

Using vegetarian geletine

part of the problem is that the veggie gelatine just doesn't work the same as animal gelatine. it gives quite a different texture. if you've ever used it to make jelly you'll know what i mean!

it's an age old problem tho, and the reason why you can't seem to get them anywhere in shops etc

Ah I see Katymac I thought you were using animal gelatine. Do post if you have success ( even tho' I have bought some I am quite willing to have another bash if someone else ( that's you ) has done all the testing )
