I made MMF for the first time and it was the worst! It was dry and did not roll out well. It was not stretchy at all.
What did I do wrong? I used 1 package of small marshmallows, 2 pounds powered sugar, and 2 TBS of water.
How much crisco did you use? How long did you knead it? Did you knead it by hand or with a mixer?
ditto to what dsilvest said.. don't use all the PS, you just add a little at a time until its the right consistency ![]()
I'm surprised! My MMF is usually TOO sticky and have to end up adding way more PS or mixing in a little gum paste or SI to stiffen it up a bit.
Ditto to above. I also add a little bit of clear vanilla extract.
but what about crisco? everything i've read says that tons of crisco is a must. everytime i make MMF, the crisco and kneading is what softens it up so it won't tear and such.
Here is the order I do it...
16 ox mini marshmallows in greased bowl to melt in microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir with greased spatula, add vanilla.
Grease mixing bowl. Add marshmallow mix. use a greased dough hook. Slowly add PS and water.
It took me a couple of times before mine came out nice. Don't give up and try another batch.
