I don't remember where I came across this recipe. I'm collecting corn syrup-free recipes (my daughter can't tolerate it) and this is one of the first marshmallow recipes I found. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons gelatin (2 envelopes knox) |
8 tablespoons cold water |
2 cups granulated sugar |
1/2 cup cold water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Dust an 8- or 9-inch square pan with powdered sugar. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, soak gelatin in 8 tbsp cold water. Set aside.
3. Combine granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a large heavy saucepan.
4. Cook and stir over medium heat until dissolved.
5. Add gelatin and bring to a boil.
6. Remove from heat. Pour into a large mixing bowl and let stand until partially cool.
7. Add salt and vanilla extract.
8. Beat with an electric mixer until soft and double in volume. About 10-15 minutes.
9. Pour into prepared pan to about 1/2 inch thick.
10. Set to cool until it will not stick to your finger.
11. Cut into 1.5 inch pieces and roll in powdered sugar.
12. Variation: toasted coconut can be substituted for powdered sugar.
13. Variation: other flavorings can be substituted for vanilla extract.
