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
Stir granulated sugar with corn syrup, cold water and salt in a small saucepan.
Set over high. Bring to a boil, and let boil without stirring for 1 min.
While waiting for syrup to boil, pour warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment.
Add flavour (cinnamon, espresso, etc.) and sprinkle in gelatin. Let stand 2 min to soften.
Line an 8-in. square baking dish with overhanging plastic wrap. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
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.
Let set at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
Whisk icing sugar with cornstarch in a small bowl.
Sift one-third of mixture over top of marshmallow to dust the surface.
Turn out onto a cutting board. Discard plastic wrap. Sift half of remaining sugar mixture overtop to dust the surface.
Slice into cubes about 1 in. square.
Roll each cut marshmallow in remaining sugar mixture until all sides are coated.
