Ingredients |
Metric |
½ cup |
powdered sugar |
60 g |
½ cup |
corn starch |
60 g |
|
vegetable oil spray |
|
3 envelopes |
powdered gelatin |
22 g |
1 cup |
water, divided |
240 mL |
1 + ½ cups |
granulated sugar |
330 g |

¼ cup |
maple syrup |

1 tsp |

- Mix the corn starch and the powdered sugar together.
- Spray a 9x9”/23x23 cm pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust it liberally with the sugar starch mixture. Shake out the excess and set the pan and the mixture aside for later.
- In a large bowl, stir together the gelatin with half of the water and set it aside. If you are using a stand mixer, use the stand mixer bowl.
- In a medium sauce pan, stir together the remaining water, granulated sugar, syrups and salt. Set the heat to medium-high and using a candy thermometer, bring it to 240°F/115°C, about 10 minutes. Do not stir.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer set to low, slowly stream the sugar mixture into the bloomed gelatin down the inside of the bowl. Set the speed to high and beat until the mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and beat for another minute.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and allow it to set uncovered overnight or about 12 hours.
- Dust the surface of the marshmallow and remove it from the pan.
- Oil and dust a sharp knife with the sugar starch mixture, then cut the marshmallows into pieces.
- Toss the cut marshmallows in the sugar starch mixture.
