Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin ½ cup water
Bloom the Gelatin – In a bowl, mix gelatin with ¼ cup of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes thick and gel-like.
Make the Syrup – In a saucepan, heat the remaining ¼ cup of water with sugar over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Combine and Whip – Pour the hot syrup into the gelatin mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat for 7–10 minutes on high speed until the mixture turns fluffy and white.
Set the Marshmallows – Pour the fluffy mixture into a greased or parchment-lined pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Let It Cool – Allow the marshmallow mixture to set for at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut and Enjoy – Once set, dust with powdered sugar, cut into squares, and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Marshmallows: Use a stand mixer for easier whipping. Add vanilla or food coloring for extra flavor. Coat with cornstarch or powdered sugar to prevent stickiness.
Cut the Marshmallows – Once firm, remove from the pan, dust with powdered sugar, and cut into squares.
