Ingredients
- 4 oz water
- 2 Tbsp gelatin powder
- 2 c sugar
- 10 oz water
- 1 tsp golden syrup (found in British shops and Amazon)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 egg whites (organic, free-range)
- ¼ c confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
- 2 Tbsp corn starch (cornflour)
- A little coconut oil or other oil for the pan
Instructions
- Sprinkle the gelatin into the 4 ounces (120 ml) of water (first two ingredients) and set aside.
- Stir the sugar and 10 ounces of water in a pot over medium heat. When the sugar has melted, add the golden syrup and increase the heat until the syrup is simmering and allow to boil until it has reached the soft ball stage (240°F/116°) on a thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, check by dropping some of the syrup into cold water, and once you take it out, if it rolls into a soft ball, it is ready.
- Remove from heat and allow to sit for about 2 minutes, then stir in the gelatin mixture until it has completely dissolved, then pour into a bowl to cool a little, stirring occasionally so that it doesn't form a skin.
- When the mixture is just warm, beat until it is thick and light, (it will look like beaten egg whites), then add the vanilla.
- Next, beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold into the beaten gelatin mixture with a large spoon. Pour into an oiled pan (I used coconut oil spray) and allow to set, for at least 6 hours.
- Mix the powdered sugar and cornstarch together and sprinkle on a clean worktop. Turn the marshmallows out onto the area and cut into pieces as desired, coating all sides with the sugar/cornstarch mixture. Keep in an airtight tin.
Notes
- Note: egg whites are not fully cooked in this recipe, so there is a risk of salmonella. Proceed with this knowledge, especially for those with lowered immune systems, babies, pregnant women, etc.
