PERFECT HOMEMADE MARSHMALLOWS
Marshmallows were originally made from the root of the marshmallow plant; today, corn syrup and sugar are the main ingredients. Homemade marshmallows can be cut into any shape you like, and used to top any type of treat, or on their own, for dessert.

Steps:
- Combine gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan; place over low heat, and stir until sugar has dissolved. Wash down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals.
- Clip on a candy thermometer; raise heat to high. Cook syrup without stirring until it reaches 244 degrees (firm-ball stage). Immediately remove pan from heat.
- With mixer on low speed, slowly and carefully pour syrup into the softened gelatin. Increase speed to high; beat until mixture is very thick and white and has almost tripled in volume, about 15 minutes. Add vanilla; beat to incorporate.
- Generously dust an 8-by-12-inch glass baking pan with confectioners' sugar. Pour marshmallow mixture into pan. Dust top with confectioners' sugar; wet your hands, and pat it to smooth. Dust with confectioners' sugar; let stand overnight, uncovered, to dry out. Turn out onto a board; cut marshmallows with a dry hot knife into 1 1/2-inch squares, and dust with more confectioners' sugar.

[email protected]These marshmallows were a complete disaster. They didn't set properly and they tasted like sugar.
Baterdene Davaasuren
[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my marshmallows turned out really dense and chewy. I think I might have overbeaten the egg whites.

[email protected]These marshmallows are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
Thomas Bullock
[email protected]I had a little trouble getting the marshmallows to set properly, but I think that was because I didn't beat the egg whites long enough. Other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the marshmallows turned out great.
