Toasted Marshmallow Day

Sunday, August 30, 2009 9:29:28 AM

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.

Cleanclean Sunday, August 30, 2009 10:15:52 PM

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!

Bad WolfCois Sunday, August 30, 2009 10:19:49 PM

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

Cleanclean Sunday, August 30, 2009 10:38:58 PM

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

What's biltong?

Bad WolfCois Sunday, August 30, 2009 10:46:26 PM

Something like beef jerky just way better p

Darkogdare Monday, August 31, 2009 5:29:19 AM

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 bigsmile ) I will buy them smile

Cleanclean Monday, August 31, 2009 9:45:46 AM

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

Mad Scientistqlue Monday, August 31, 2009 11:23:30 AM

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.

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

r♡serose-marie Monday, August 31, 2009 12:20:40 PM

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

Spaggyj Monday, August 31, 2009 12:38:04 PM

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

Dark FurieFurie Monday, August 31, 2009 1:17:53 PM

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

KittyliciousZaphira Monday, August 31, 2009 4:19:19 PM

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

Mad Scientistqlue Monday, August 31, 2009 5:08:20 PM

Isn't it illegal to eat untoasted marshmallows! scared

Darkogdare Monday, August 31, 2009 6:26:42 PM

Thanks, all happy

Cleanclean Monday, August 31, 2009 11:35:01 PM

Aadil,

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

Mad Scientistqlue Tuesday, September 1, 2009 2:56:19 AM

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.

Cleanclean Tuesday, September 1, 2009 9:06:31 AM

Hmm ...

... okay ...

... what's kudu?

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 1, 2009 12:00:40 PM

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

Cleanclean Tuesday, September 1, 2009 12:42:00 PM

What's ... what's blesbok ... ? bigeyes

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 1, 2009 1:44:25 PM

It's an antelope isn't it?

Cleanclean Tuesday, September 1, 2009 10:37:51 PM

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

Cleanclean Tuesday, September 1, 2009 10:40:09 PM

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! bigeyes

Bad WolfCois Tuesday, September 1, 2009 11:05:48 PM

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..

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 1, 2009 11:28:56 PM

Goat bad. Snake good. chef

Bad WolfCois Tuesday, September 1, 2009 11:46:56 PM

Stick to your marshmallows dude lol

Dark FurieFurie Tuesday, September 1, 2009 11:55:50 PM

Do you know what day it is today? angel

Bad WolfCois Wednesday, September 2, 2009 12:26:11 AM

Wednesday rolleyes

Mad Scientistqlue Wednesday, September 2, 2009 3:09:45 AM

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!!

Cleanclean Wednesday, September 2, 2009 3:29:55 AM

Kangaroo is gamey. Duck is gamey.

Monopoly is gamey ...

Mad Scientistqlue Wednesday, September 2, 2009 3:39:51 AM

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

Cleanclean Wednesday, September 2, 2009 3:48:52 AM

lol

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

Spaggyj Wednesday, September 2, 2009 8:11:26 AM

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

Dark FurieFurie Wednesday, September 2, 2009 8:28:37 AM

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

Cleanclean Wednesday, September 2, 2009 8:38:05 AM

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

Dark FurieFurie Wednesday, September 2, 2009 9:33:19 AM

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.
