Recipe for delicious homemade marshmallows
Description
Making marshmallows at home is not difficult: you just need to buy agar-agar and invert syrup. But even if you don't have invert syrup, don't worry—you can add 400 g of sugar to the mixture and cook it a bit longer, so that the syrup thickens properly. You can taste the marshmallow mixture before it sets, and add anything you'd like, if necessary. You can pipe the dessert onto a baking sheet in any shape and size, depending on your preferences.
