Marshmallow recipe but no eggs.. and what is corn syrup?

Angelina-M

Thank you for taking the time to write this for me, its very kind of you!!

It sounds like such good fun and I bet you were smiling writing it!

Half an hour with an electric whisk, i'm glad i've got my trusty Kenwood. I don't know where I would be without it.

Lol at your rum essence. I don't like alcohol tastes, or alcohol for that matter so I will not be trying that.

If it wasn't raining I think I may have nipped up to Tesco now for the bits I need. I don't fancy the rush tomorrow.. ugh!

Liquid glucose works well in place of corn syrup. Otherwise in Tesco in the American bit, light Karo syrup will do the trick. Hope that helps!

Thank you.

I'm going to do a mix of a few different recipes to start with, have a look what I like!

I have been doing the 5-2 diet recently but that will go out of the window once I start making these ha ha!

Ocado sells corn syrup as well.

Why did you not want to use egg whites?

OP explains the reason in their first post - basically a lack of eggs (to the quality they like to buy them)

Krlyr is spot on. I used to keep a few hens myself and they were like little doggies with their individual personalities. I vowed never to buy eggs unless I could see the hens running about playing and being free. The farm I buy from is struggling to keep up with demand in the winter so eggs are too be used sparingly!

Not only that, I look at the american marshmallow and it looks identical to ours so it seems the egg whites could be a step not needed, just like some people put an egg in scones, I don't see the need.

I will take a picture when I make some... if they are good enough!
