Hi there,
I was web surfing again and came across this awesome site for old fashion recipes.
This one in particular brings back alot of memories in 7th grade cooking class. Yes Mordern Missies, we had cooking and sewing classes. In fact, we had to sew our freekish cooking apron in sewing class. Ok, stop laughing. Back to marshmellow icing. This is the icing that is shiny and sticky and yummmy. It is also a great filling for woopie pies. Remember now, this was written in 1915, even before my time. The kids will love this one!

Marshmallow Icing
Two cupfuls sugar
One cupful milk
Six marshmallows
One teaspoonful flavoring
Put the sugar and milk in the kettle and boil to 236°, or to a soft
wax when tested in cold water. Stir constantly while cooking and
keep beating after it is removed from the fire. When it begins to get
creamy, add the marshmallows cut into pieces, and beat until it is
thick enough to spread on the cake. If it becomes too thick before
getting it on the cake, add a little milk to thin it. If it should
happen to get too thin, add a little XXXX sugar to make it thicker.
LOL, yes Rose, I enjoyed this one. I remember cooking and sewing classes as well and all that you said about them! BTW, I haven't been assigned my Soldier yet, but I have been accepted to Phase 4. I got a GREAT cookbook from my Mom and Dad for my birthday with recipes for using Splenda. My plan is to bake something for Thanksgiving to take to my sister's house. So, I guess I will attempt baking again. I'll let you know how it turns out!

I love this recipe! So simple! Personally I think old fashion is the new fashion! Speaking of marshmallows...I actually thought of you when I saw this recipe about Marshmallow fondant! I am trying it this weekend and it looks fab! I will be posting it soon and maybe it's something you might want a try!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of marshmallow fluffer! YUM!
