Rose Water Marshmallows
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
- 5 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons rose water
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Generously butter a 9-by-13 inch cake pan.
- Sift the cornstarch with the confectioners' sugar and set half aside.
- Add the remaining mixture to the pan and shake to coat; tap the excess out onto wax paper and sift it back into the pan.
- In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in 1/2 cup of the water.
- In a medium saucepan, boil the remaining 1 cup of water with the sugar and corn syrup until the syrup reaches 245 on a candy thermometer; remove from the heat.
- Add the gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved.
- In a standing mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- At medium speed, beat in the hot syrup in a thin stream.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until cooled to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Beat in the rose water and vanilla.
- Spread the marshmallow in the prepared pan and let stand until set, at least 2 hours.
- Run a thin knife around the marshmallow.
- Generously sift some of the reserved cornstarch mixture on top.
- Cover with a cutting board and invert, then tap on the pan to release the marshmallow.
- Using a moistened sharp knife, cut the marshmallow into 1-inch pieces.
- Cover a large board with wax paper and dust with more cornstarch.
- Coat each marshmallow with the cornstarch, then transfer to wax paper to set.
