For the last three or four years I have made marshmallows for an annual family vacation to Bass Lake! From the recipe book of Ina Garten, these pillows of white fluff are incredibly light, delicate and with just the right amount of sweetness. The perfect companion for chocolate and graham crackers out by a campfire and way better than the ones you buy in the store.
Ina's Recipe
3 Packages Unflavored Gelatin
1/2 Cup Water
1 Cup Light Corn Syrup
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Kosher Salt
1 Tbsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
Confectioners Sugar for Dusting!
Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and allow to sit while you make the syrup.
Meanwhile, combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat to high and cook until the syrup reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the dissolved gelatin. Put the mixer on high speed and whip until the mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
Sprinkle confectioners sugar in an 8 by 12-inch nonmetal pan (I used a slightly smaller glass pan). Pour in the marshmallow batter and smooth the top of the mixture with damp hands and sprinkle more sugar over the top. Allow to dry uncovered at room temperature overnight.
When your ready, cut into squares and enjoy as you'd like!
