Toasted Marshmallow Day

Sunday, 30. August 2009, 09:29:28

Today is the international Toasted Marshmallow Day (notice I never miss the food days eh?) and in honour of such an esteemed day I'd like to present you guys with a recipe I found a few years back.
Hot Cocoa With Marshmallow Cakes

The ingrediants you'll need are:

  • 3/4 cup of flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • Handful of tiny marshmallows

How to make:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Mix the flour, salt, cocoa and baking powder together.
  • Mix the butter, sugar, vanilla and egg together, beating the paste is smooth.
  • Alternate adding the water and the flour mixture, beating the mixture as you go along.
  • Take several small marshmallows and place one inside each paper cake liner then pour the mixture on top of them.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the cakes then leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Hope you guys have a wonderful day, and don't forget to toast a marshmallow for yourself.

Cois 30. August 2009, 11:09

Dacotah 30. August 2009, 11:38

:smile:
I don't like Marshmallows. Only in rice crispy bars.

gdare 30. August 2009, 16:11

We don`t have marshmallow here awww

:sst: I needed to Google it to know what it is :left:

Furie 30. August 2009, 16:13

:yikes:

gdare 30. August 2009, 16:40

I know awww

Cois 30. August 2009, 18:31

dragon_harrower 30. August 2009, 18:49

That looks delightful!

Marike79 30. August 2009, 19:30

Yummy! Going to try that sometime. :yes: I like the ones roll ed in coconut. :chef:

awww sorry to hear that darko.

clean 30. August 2009, 22:15

Handful of tiny marshmallows



Tiny marshmallows? What about great big honking huge marshmallows? tiny marshmallows, indeed! :irked: :wink:


Darko,

No marshmallows?

Is it legal to send someone marshmallows in the mail? Seriously!

Cois 30. August 2009, 22:19

Sometimes they have laws.. Like I can't send biltong to the UK and they can only produce it themselves :confused:

clean 30. August 2009, 22:38

But ... but ... it's marshmallows! Nobody can be hurt by a marshmallow-related incident!

What's biltong?

Cois 30. August 2009, 22:46

Something like beef jerky just way better p:

gdare 31. August 2009, 05:29

Clean, I don`t know. I think if it is in original package there will be no problems but can`t be sure. Thanks anyway, one day when I am going to travel to Great Britain, or USA or Australia (or to all of these places :D ) I will buy them :smile:

clean 31. August 2009, 09:45

Darko,

Groovy!

(I couldn't figure out where to find out the info - I couldn't see someone at the counter in Australia Post knowing ... :lol: but I thought there might be a customs/quarantine issue with foodstuffs).



Cois,

What sort of animal is it made from? :eek: :wink:

qlue 31. August 2009, 11:23

Any edible beast is suitable for biltong. Springbok and ostrich are both popular. Although mutton and beef versions are cheaper.
Darko, I'll give you the recipe for marshmallow. :up:.

rose-marie 31. August 2009, 12:20

I miss all the food days awww.

Yes, it is! I've gotten marshmallows in the mail :happy:.

rose-marie 31. August 2009, 12:20

Oh wait... that doesn't necessarily mean it's legal, I just realized. :left:

Spaggyj 31. August 2009, 12:38

That was me! I sent the marshmallows :D . I know! When darko wins a competition I'll throw some marshmallows in there :idea:

Furie 31. August 2009, 13:17

And hope he gets them before they become a lifeform of their own. Hopefully Serbian mail is better than British.

Zaphira 31. August 2009, 16:19

I missed a food day. awww And I like marshmellows - I just never had them toasted.

qlue 31. August 2009, 17:08

Isn't it illegal to eat untoasted marshmallows! :insane:

gdare 31. August 2009, 18:26

Thanks, all :happy:

clean 31. August 2009, 23:35

Aadil,

Hmm ... springbok sounds interesting. Ostrich, I imagine, would taste like chicken ... :wink:

:sing: Rosie's eating contraband ... Rosie's eating contraband ... :sing: :wink:

qlue 1. September 2009, 02:56

Ostrich tastes like ostrich! :irked:.
And no, it doesn't taste anything like chicken. It tastes like game. Kind of like a blend between mutton and beef but with a bit of kudu thrown in for good measure. :sherlock:.
Of course, biltong tastes like biltong and has to be tried. It's not something that benefits from describing it. awww.

clean 1. September 2009, 09:06

Hmm ...

... okay ...

... what's kudu?

Furie 1. September 2009, 12:00

Yeah, same here. My visitors are going through the roof for some reason.

clean 1. September 2009, 12:42

What's ... what's blesbok ... ? :eyes:

Furie 1. September 2009, 13:44

It's an antelope isn't it?

clean 1. September 2009, 22:37

So ... it tastes like chicken, too, then ... ? p: :wink:

clean 1. September 2009, 22:40

From the pics on the Wikipedia page it looks like something I wouldn't want to mess with ... those horns - my clacker Does Not Want! :eyes:

Cois 1. September 2009, 23:05

:lol: eish.. Antelope type yes.. It's all wild really though qlue might have a kudu in his bedroom :whistle:.
Game has its own 'wild' taste and you can't describe it as chicken :rolleyes: If you've tried goat meat you'd know the richer flavour it has than mutton. Is all good really but some might be a acquired taste really eh..

Furie 1. September 2009, 23:28

Goat bad. Snake good. :chef:

Cois 1. September 2009, 23:46

Stick to your marshmallows dude :lol:

Furie 1. September 2009, 23:55

Do you know what day it is today? :angel:

Cois 2. September 2009, 00:26

Wednesday :rolleyes:

qlue 2. September 2009, 03:09

I didn't know that one got through. :lol:.
I eventually gave up and email a couple of posts in :irked:.
I only spent three and a half hours and half my battery trying to post here yesterday!!

clean 2. September 2009, 03:29

Kangaroo is gamey. Duck is gamey.

Monopoly is gamey ...

qlue 2. September 2009, 03:39

Monopoly has been renamed.
It's called "microsoft" now. :whistle:.

clean 2. September 2009, 03:48

:lol:

(Sorry, Mik - I know you hate the smiley only comments).

Spaggyj 2. September 2009, 08:11

He hates them when they're made in response to a post, not when someone's made a funny.

Furie 2. September 2009, 08:28

It's the serial killer smiley that gets to me. The exact same expression people have as they slowly remove your skin. :smile:

clean 2. September 2009, 08:38

Thanks for clearing that up, guys. Somehow I thought it was a dislike of smileys in general ... :beard: :wink:

Furie 2. September 2009, 09:33

Just the serial killer. Although if I've spent half an hour typing an epic on my phone (yesterdays mobile application essay for example) and it only gets smiley comments, that's annoying. awww Jokes on the other hand are understandable smiley comment provokers.
