Yield Makes about 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until light and frothy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup water, corn syrup, and remaining 2/3 cup sugar. Place over medium heat and cook until boiling. Cook, stirring, until mixture reaches the firm-ball stage, about 242 to 248 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 6 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add hot syrup to egg-white mixture. Increase mixer speed to high and continue beating for 5 minutes. Add vanilla and continue to beat until mixture looks like marshmallow cream, about 1 minute more.

Tips for Making Homemade Marshmallows:

- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. Undercooked syrup will result in sticky marshmallows, while overcooked syrup will result in hard marshmallows. - Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help to create a light and fluffy marshmallow. - Add the sugar syrup to the egg whites gradually, beating constantly. This will prevent the egg whites from cooking and scrambling. - Flavor the marshmallows with vanilla extract, peppermint extract, or your favorite flavoring. - Dip the marshmallows in chocolate or sprinkle them with colored sugar for a festive touch. - Store the marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Homemade marshmallows are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create your own delicious marshmallows that are sure to be a hit. So what are you waiting for?
