List of Ingredients




3 pkgs unflavored gelatin
1-1/2 C granulated sugar
1 C light corn syrup
1/4 t kosher salt
1 T vanilla extract
confectioners sugar for dusting



Recipe



Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and allow to sit while you make the syrup.
Meanwhile combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Raise the heat to high and cook until the syrup reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the dissolved gelatin. Put the mixer on high speed and whip until the mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
With a sieve, generously dust an 8 x 12 inch nonmetal baking dish with confectioners sugar. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the pan, smooth the top and dust with more confectioners sugar. Allow to stand uncovered overnight until it dries out.
Turn the marshmallows onto a board and cut them into squares. Dust them with more confectioners sugar.
