Steps:
- Prepare the Square Pan - Generously dust the square pan with powdered sugar.
- Make the Gelatin - In a small mixing bowl, combine the gelatin with eight tablespoons of cold water.
- Heat Granulated Sugar and Vanilla - In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of cold water. Cook the mixture, stirring regularly until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the Gelatin - Add the gelatin to the sugar water. Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove the mixture from the heat. Carefully for the mixture into a large mixing bowl and allow it to partially cool.
- Add the Salt and Vanilla Extract - To your mixture, add the salt and vanilla extract, mixing together until combined. You may substitute the vanilla extract for another flavor if desired.
- Beat Marshmallow Mixture With an Electric Mixer - Using an electric mixer, beat the marshmallow mixture. Beat the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, or until it has reached a soft texture and has doubled in volume.
- Pour Into Pan and Let Set - Carefully pour your marshmallow into the prepared pan. It should be about 1/2 inch thick. Let the marshmallow sit so it can fully cool.
- Cut and Serve - Once the marshmallow does not stick to your fingers, it is ready to serve. Cut it with a sharp knife into about 1 1/2 inch squares. Roll the marshmallow squares around in powdered sugar and serve.
Tips:
- Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar syrup. This will ensure that the marshmallows reach the correct consistency.
- Be sure to bloom the gelatin in water before adding it to the sugar syrup. This will help to prevent the gelatin from clumping.
- When whipping the egg whites, start on low speed and gradually increase the speed until stiff peaks form. This will help to incorporate air into the egg whites, making the marshmallows light and fluffy.
- Be sure to grease the pan before pouring in the marshmallow mixture. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from sticking.
- Allow the marshmallows to cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the knife.
- Store the marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
