I covered this in the post. Because the beaters don’t touch the small amount of mixture in the bowl. Big bowl + very little mixture .

It sounds like you did great! Next time, though I know it’s a pain, try lifting up the stand mixer head as you add small amounts of the hot sugar. That might help you not splash on the sides and get the hard crunchy pieces! I’m so glad you tried the recipe anyway, and it worked, though!
Oh man, as for the stickiness when spreading–isn’t it nuts! Try using a silicone spatula that is sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Good luck :)

I don’t have a hand mixer, so despite the warning against a stand mixer, it was my only option. I just beat it at a lower speed until I poured all of the hot sugar in. I did have a lot of hard stuff on the sides, but it wasn’t THAT bad. I would just maybe make a tiny bit more of the sugar mixture to make up for what I lost on the sides that got hard. My only issue was that I wasn’t able to nicely smooth the mallow into the pan. Do you have any tricks for that? It wasn’t lumpy, but it certainly wasn’t a nice smooth surface.

I’d say the medium setting. :)

What speed would you say to use for this recipe for the 10 minute beating?

They were easy to make. Very Fluffy. Just make to to use correct size pan. If you want big ones, use a loaf pan.Just make sure of pan size.

Hi Cathy! I’m so glad you wrote me :) I’m sorry this recipe caused so much anxiety. I hope it worked out ok!
1. No need to stir, just scrape it all in the bowl. The mixer will stir it perfectly.
2. Start counting immediately, but overall, it shouldn’t be a big deal for a 30second-1 minute lapse. When they are ready to go in the pan, it will look like store-bought marshmallow fluff from the jar. Fluffy, glossy white, and sticky.
3. Yep, the mixture is SUPER sticky and will climb like crazy. Don’t spray your beaters. I would take the beaters around the edges of the bowl while mixing to try to un-stick it and keep things moving. Does that make sense?

Overall, CONGRATS ON CONQUERING MARSHMALLOWS! Once you master them, you’ll become obsessed and never buy store-bought again! :) Let me know if you need anything else. I’m here :)

The marshmallows are in the pan now, so I’ll see how I did in a few hours, but I have a couple of questions.
1. Should I stir the gelatin before adding in the syrup? I know I’m supposed to let it sit for a bit. However, I didn’t stir it at all before starting to beat in the syrup and the gelatin whipped around the bowl as one chunk for awhile before actually mixing with the syrup.
2. Should I start counting the ten minutes when I start pouring in the syrup, or after it’s all in? Relatedly, what should it look like when it’s ready to go in the pan?
3. When I was beating, the mixture started making its way up my beaters. I kept stopping so it would fall off and starting again, but it climbed its way back up quickly. Should I spray my beaters or something? I know it wouldn’t be good for my mixer if marshmallow climbed up into the mechanics!

lol

Don’t feel silly, Amanda! So, the whisk is generally not strong enough (at least on my hand mixer). And my hand mixer only came with 1 whisk instead of 2 whisks..like how there are 2 beaters, ya know? Stick with the heavy duty beaters–the batter gets thick.

I feel silly for not knowing the difference…
