Ingredients:
3/4 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 tbsp gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
butter and powdered sugar for prepping pan
Directions:
Dissolve gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in mixer bowl with whisk attachment while you begin other stages. Prep 8×8 baking dish or pan by buttering it and the sides. Stick a piece of wax paper at the bottom with edges hanging over the sides for easy removal later. Butter the wax paper and sides of pan again, and dust with powdered sugar. Bring 3/4 cup to slow boil and stir in sugar whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbling. Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes or so, whisking 3 or 4 times to ensure even heating.
Pour mixture over gelatin with mixer running mix for 20-30 minutes, until cool and fluffy. You’ll see a change in texture. Using a rubber spatula, pour fluff into prepped baking dish and flatten. be careful that stray hard sugar bits don’t make their way into your marshmallow. i pressed plastic wrap on top to flatten and let them set up that way. Place in freezer over night. Remove when set, using wax paper to lift out of pan. Slice with large knife, or get crazy with cookie cutters or a pizza cutter.
Suggestions:
Homemade S'more's with a smear of Nutella and homemade crackers. They are good dropped into a cup of coffee, hot chocolate or in recipes calling for marshmallows.
