Must Marshmallow Soften Biscuits?
Dear Aunt Daisy, I should be exceedingly grateful for your advice, or the Daisy Chain’s, on the following matter. I make marshmallow which, when put on the biscuits, always make them go soft. This is the recipe I use. One cup of boiling water, 1 cup of sugar, and 2 dessertspoons of gelatine. Boil for eight minutes, allow to cool, add 1 cup of icing sugar, flavour, and beat until fluffy. I wonder if anyone can give me a recipe which will not soften the biscuits. I know there is one. as I’ve tasted it in
restaurants.-

Perhaps your biscuits were not quite cold when you put your marshmallow on. Or perhaps the marshmallow was not cold enough. Anyhow, try this recipe. It is part of one of the prize-winners in the recent. biscuit competition. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of gelatine in 2 cup of hot water. Leave till cool. Add the beaten white of an egg, lemon favouring, and 1 cup of icing sugar. Beat till thick and creamy. As a matter of fact, we have your recipe, but ours says to soak the gelatine in the cup of cold water-not boiling; perhaps that makes a difference.
