Marshmallows
My mother made these every year for Christmas. There is nothing like a "fresh" marshmallow. These are so worth the time! You dust them with powdered sugar but you can also sprinkle them with color sugar. These are to totally die for.
NEED:
4 envelopes of minute gelatin ( not jello)
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 egg whites ( beaten to stiff)
1/2 cup confectioners ( powdered) sugar
In bowl, mix gelatin and 1/2 cup water. Stir well and set aside. In saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water. Over medium heat, stir constantly, until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a boil. DO NOT STIR. Boil until mixture reaches the temperature of 240 degrees on a candy thermometer or a small amount of the mixture forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved. With electric mixer, beat until mixture turns white ( about 3 minutes) Add egg whites and vanilla and continue beating until mixture is thick, fluffy and almost cool. Pour mixture into a 9 x 9 pan that has been dusted with powdered sugar. With fork or sharp knife...prick any bubbles that may appear on the surface. Sift powdered sugar over the top and cool completely. When cold, loosen from pan sides with wet, sharp knife. Turn onto cutting surface and cut in 1 inch cubes and roll in powdered sugar.
Makes 1 1/2 pounds or approximately 6 1/2 dozen marshmallows.
