Hi,
I recently made my first attempt at making MMF and it turned out quite good. I smeared it with shortening and wrapped it in cling film and let it rest overnight. But the next day it was very dry and crumbly. The recipe stated 280 gm of marshmallow n 450 GMs of sugar or till it forms a ball in the mixer, I ended up adding 1200 grams of sugar till it reached the right consistency. Any recommendations on how to fix it??
When I use to make homemade mmf, I left the fondant slightly tacky, wrapped and left overnight. Then the next day, would adjust by adding more icing sugar or shortening. You didn’t mention any shortening or corn syrup in your recipe. Those two make and keep your fondant supple. All you have to do is add more shortening, and keep kneading in until your fondant is soft, supple and smooth. Then re-wrap.
That is a lot of extra sugar! I don't know if it is possible to save it. It would take a ton of shortening and that would change the consistency. I think I would try adding about 300 grams more marshmallows and about 1/4 cup of corn syrup.
