Sure, no problem;

Marshmallows

1 1/2 cup hot water
2 heaped T gelatine
4 cups sugar
1 cup cold water
Vanilla to taste
Dessicated coconut browned in oven

Add hot water to sugar and boil until it spins a thread - 15 - 17 mins. Dissolve gelatine in cold water. Add to hot mixture and leave to cool. Add vanilla and beat until light and frothy. Pour into buttered dish and leave to set. Cut into squares and roll in coconut.
Note: pink colouring may be added and squares rolled in icing sugar in place of coconut.

Thanks for the offer of the powdered gelatine. I'll look around the other supermarkets, and if I don't find it I'd really appreciate it if you could send me some. Will send you a pm.
