- Place egg white in bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, and set aside; measure sugar, and set 3 teaspoons aside.

- Just before sugar syrup reaches 240 degrees, beat egg white on low speed until foamy; add 1 teaspoon of reserved sugar and the salt; increase the heat to high, and continue beating, sprinkling with remaining 2 teaspoons until medium-stiff peaks have formed; with mixer running, pour syrup into egg white; beat on high speed 2 minutes; add dissolved gelatin; beat until fluffy and cool, about 5 minutes; add vanilla.
- Sauce will hold at room temperature for 4 hours; after refrigeration, sauce may be heated over a double boiler until lukewarm, and beaten in a standing mixer until fluffy.

Oh man this is good! I'm trying not to just sit with the bowl and eat it all!! I can't find corn syrup here in the UK, so I used a substitute recipe for it which worked very well. This tastes just like melted marshmallows! Thank you for posting this!!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
