Homemade Vanilla Marshmallows
Ingredients
- 2 cups white granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup water
- 24 grams (3 packets of unflavored gelatin powder)
- ½ cup cold water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- vanilla extract
- ½ cup each MAYA Cornstarch and powdered sugar mixed together for dusting.
Instructions
-
Grease a 9-inch square pan, then line with non-stick baking paper. Make sure to cut excess so that it has flaps on the side. Spray again with cooking spray.
-
In a mixer bowl, bloom gelatin powder in ½ cup cold water. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan, pour in granulated sugar, light corn syrup and ¼ cup water. Place over medium low heat.
-
Heat the sugar until it reaches 240F/115C. Once the sugar syrup almost reaches the correct temperature, whip the bloomed gelatin on high speed, slowly and gradually pouring the sugar syrup.
-
Continue whipping on high speed for about 10-12 minutes until the mixture fluffs.
-
Add in the salt and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until salt and vanilla is mixed in.
-
Pour mixture into prepared pan. Flatten with a greased offset spatula. Dust the top with the powder mixture. Place in the fridge to set.
-
Dust a chopping board with more cornstarch-powdered sugar, then tip the set marshmallow into the board. Cut using a greased sharp edge knife or greased cookie cutter, as desired. Dust with more powder then sift to remove excess.
