Vegan Marshmallows

• 2 tablespoons agar-agar powder
• 2 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

1. Mix agar-agar into 1/2 cup of cold water.
2. Bring sugar and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Do not stir once syrup begins to boil. Heat to 238 degrees F (114 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat and add the agar-agar. Pour syrup into a glass bowl; let cool briefly.
3. Beat the syrup using an electric mixer until thick and white. Mix in vanilla extract and salt until the marshmallow mixture is combined.
4. Mix 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and cornstarch together; spread over the bottom of a 9-inch baking pan. Pour the marshmallow mixture on top; let stand until firm, at least 1 hour.
5. Cut into square marshmallows using a wet knife. Dust with remaining confectioners' sugar.
