Recipe from Martha Stewart
Recipe from Martha Stewart
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1 oz gelatin (three packets of Knox gelatin)
1/4 cup water
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
2 tsp Vanilla bean paste
Directions
Sprinkle the gelatin over the first amount of water in the mixer bowl with the whisk attachment in place. Do not stir this. Let it sit until you are ready to add the sugar mixture.
In a pot combine the remaining ingredients except for the vanilla bean paste. Stir until combined then allow the mixture to boil. Once it is at a rolling boil, allow that to go for 1 minute. Carefully pour the sugar mixture down the side of the mixer bowl. Turn the whisk to medium high as you do this. Use a spatula to get all of the sugar mixture from the pot. Turn the whisk to high. Set a timer for 12 minutes. Add Vanilla at the 10 minute mark.
Spray a 9x9 square pan with cooking spray. Working quickly, pour and scrape the marshmallow from the mixing bowl in the the pan. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray. Put this on top of the marshmallows and use your hands to smooth the top. Allow to sit for 4 hours or overnight.
Cut into 36 squares. Lightly coat each square with icing sugar to prevent it from sticking. Store in an airtight container. Each marshmallow is 2 PointsPlus.
