Easy Amazing Marshmallows
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 2 12 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 12 cup cold water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 12 cup light corn syrup
- 12 cup hot water (about 115 F.)
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Oil bottom and sides of a 13- by 9- by 2-inch rectangular metal baking pan and dust bottom and sides with some confectioners' sugar.
- In bowl of a standing electric mixer or in a large bowl sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand to soften.
- In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook granulated sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar is dissolved.
- Increase heat to moderate and boil mixture, without stirring, until a candy or digital thermometer registers 240F., about 12 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat and pour sugar mixture over gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
- With standing or a hand-held electric mixer beat mixture on high speed until white, thick, and nearly tripled in volume, about 6 minutes if using standing mixer or about 10 minutes if using hand-held mixer.
- In a large bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites (or reconstituted powdered whites) until they just hold stiff peaks.
- Beat whites and vanilla into sugar mixture until just combined.
- Pour mixture into baking pan and sift 1/4 cup confectioners― sugar evenly over top.
- Chill marshmallow, uncovered, until firm, at least 3 hours, and up to 1 day.
- Run a thin knife around edges of pan and invert pan onto a large cutting board.
- Lifting up 1 corner of inverted pan, with fingers loosen marshmallow and let drop onto cutting board.
- With a large knife trim edges of marshmallow and cut marshmallow into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- Sift remaining confectioners' sugar into a large bowl and add marshmallows in batches, tossing to evenly coat.
- Marshmallows keep in an airtight container at cool room temperature 1 week.
