Creative side of imagination

  Since it's already the time for barbecues and picnics I couldn't resist to try the recipe for homemade marshmallows. It tastes like heaven even though it takes a while to be made. I had two recipes in my hand. One in Slovene ( Kulinarika.net )   and one in English ( seriouseats.com ). I chose American recipe since it was more precise. I simplified it a little. You can find photo tutorial on this link: How to Make Marshmallows . Here you have it ;)  Utensils: - Baking pan/tray - 4 cups - Whisk - Kitchenware - 2 Bowls - Electric mixer - Foil - Chopping board - Kitchen knife - Small offset spatula    Ingredients: - ½ cup confectioners sugar - 1 teaspoon butter - 1 cup water, divided - 2 cups granulated sugar - Two ¼-ounce packets of unflavored powdered gelatin (about 5 teaspoons) - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or other flavouring) - 3 large egg whites (at room temperature) - pinch of salt The Method: Stage 1

Chocolate is one of the many things I love so I decided to try a recipe for brownies this week. It's fairly simple, quick (it takes 30 minutes all together) and delicious.
