Recipe type: Sweet treat
Serves: 64 marshmallows
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup corn syrup
  • ¼ cold water
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ½ tsp cinnamon; ⅛ tsp cayenne/2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 7g envelopes unflavoured gelatin powder
  • ¼ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
  1. Stir granulated sugar with corn syrup, cold water and salt in a small saucepan.
  2. Set over high. Bring to a boil, and let boil without stirring for 1 min.
  3. While waiting for syrup to boil, pour warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment.
  4. Add flavour (cinnamon, espresso, etc.) and sprinkle in gelatin. Let stand 2 min to soften.
  5. Line an 8-in. square baking dish with overhanging plastic wrap. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  6. Set mixer on high, then pour hot syrup in a stream down the side of the mixer bowl, beating gelatin mixture until it is thick and sticky and white peaks form, about 4 min. Scrape into prepared pan, smoothing top as best you can with an oiled spatula or a metal offset spatula.
  7. Let set at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
  8. Whisk icing sugar with cornstarch in a small bowl.
  9. Sift one-third of mixture over top of marshmallow to dust the surface.
  10. Turn out onto a cutting board. Discard plastic wrap. Sift half of remaining sugar mixture overtop to dust the surface.
  11. Slice into cubes about 1 in. square.
  12. Roll each cut marshmallow in remaining sugar mixture until all sides are coated.
