[Guest guest]

HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOWS

 

1/3 cup confectioner's sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 envelope unflavored gelatin (use a vegan brand such as Emes)

1/3 c of water

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 tsp. vanilla

2/3 c granulated sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

 

Stir together the cornstarch and confectioners sugar. Lightly oil an

8 square baking pan and sprinkle with 1 tbs. of the cornstarch

mixture. Tilt pan in all directions to coat bottom and sides. Do not

shake out excess.

 

Blend the gelatin and water in a small saucepan and let soak. Add the

granulated sugar and stir over low heat until gelatin and sugar

dissolves. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the gelatin

mixture, corn syrup,salt, and vanilla. Beat 15 minutes on high speed

until peaks form. Spread the gelatin mixture over the bottom of the

prepared pan and smooth the top. Let stand 2 hours or until well set.

 

With a wet knife, cut the marshmallow mixture into quarters and loosen

around the edges. Sprinkle remaining cornstarch on a baking sheet and

invert the marshmallows onto it. Cut each quarter into 9 pieces and

roll each in the cornstarch and sugar mixture. Place marshmallow on

a rack and cover with paper towels. Let stand over night to dry the

surface slightly.
