Homemade Marshmallows

• 2 tablespoons (2 envelopes) unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
• 2 egg whites
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar, as needed
• Special equipment: 4 bamboo sticks

1. Line a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper.
2. Stir the gelatin into 1/3 cup water.
3. Place the granulated sugar, 1/3 cup water and corn syrup in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
4. Bring to a boil, stirring, and cook until the sugar dissolves and the temperature reaches 240 degrees F. Carefully pour the sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture, stirring constantly.
5. Let sit for 5 minutes.
6. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
7. With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour the sugar-gelatin mixture into the egg whites in a slow, steady stream.
8. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
9. Pour the mixture into 8-by-8-inch baking sheet or dish and refrigerate until stiffened, about 3 hours.
10. Turn the marshmallow out onto a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar; peel off the parchment.
11. Cut into 4 cubes and insert a bamboo stick into each.
