Marshmallows
The marshmallow has been enjoyed in one form or another since 2000 BC. Originally this gooey confection was created by whipping the sap of the marshmallow root with honey. In the early 1800s, French candy makers combined the marshmallow sap with egg whites and sugar which was then whipped by hand. By the late 1800s, the marshmallow sap was replaced with gelatin, creating the modern marshmallow that we know and love. From roasting over a campfire to cereal treats and hot chocolate, marshmallows bring a little touch of joy to everyday moments and they are simple to make at home for an extra special treat.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1 cup powdered sugar, divided plus more for dusting ⅓ cup cornstarch 1 cup cold water, divided 2½ tablespoons unflavored gelatin, about 3 (0.25-ounce packets) ⅔ cup light corn syrup 2 cups granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper. The parchment should be longer than the pan so you can use it to pull the marshmallows out. Spray it liberally with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar and cornstarch and set aside. Pour ½ cup of the cold water into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let bloom until firm, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining water and the corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Pour the sugar into the center of the saucepan and add the salt.
