The other day I made home made marshmallows for the first time and they were SO good!
Here is the recipe I used:
marshmallow recipe
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons gelatin (2 envelopes)
• 1 cup cold water, divided
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Method
1. Dust a 9-inch square pan liberally with powdered sugar.
2. Stir the gelatin into ½ cup of the cold water and let it bloom for 10 minutes.
3. In a pot, stir the remaining ½ cup water and the sugar over medium heat until dissolved. Add the gelatin, then bring to a rolling boil without stirring until it hits 240°F. Careful — hot sugar syrup.
4. Pour into a mixer bowl, stir in the salt and vanilla, then beat on low for 2 minutes, then on high for 10–15 minutes until soft and doubled in volume.
5. Pour into the pan and smooth with a lightly oiled spatula — it's very sticky.
6. Cool uncovered for at least 3 hours until firm. Dust the top with powdered sugar, cut into squares, and toss the pieces in more powdered sugar so they don't stick together.
I highly recommend them. They are perfect for hot drinks and s’mores would be so good!
