Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light (clear) corn syrup
- pinch of salt
- 6 tablespoons cool water
- 1 packet (2 1/2 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Line an 8 or 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and apply nonstick spray.
- In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 3 tablespoons of water. Turn on high heat and boil without stirring until it reaches 238°F.
- In a large bowl, add the remaining water and sprinkle gelatin on top; let sit without stirring for a few minutes.
- Once the sugar syrup reaches 238°F, slowly pour it into the gelatin mixture while beating continuously with a hand mixer.
- Beat for a full 10 minutes until fluffy.
- Stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Let the mixture set uncovered for at least 3 hours.
- Once set, sprinkle powdered sugar on a work surface. Turn out the marshmallows and slice, dipping the knife in powdered sugar between cuts. Roll the edges of the marshmallows in powdered sugar.
- Store marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature; they will last for 2-3 days.
Notes
Using a hand mixer is key for achieving the right texture; do not use a stand mixer.
Cut the marshmallows with a sharp knife dipped in powdered sugar to avoid sticking.
These marshmallows can be flavored with different extracts if desired.
