Servings: 40 pieces
Calories: 23kcal
Equipment
- stand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon gelatine
- 1 teaspoon glucose
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or pink colouring/strawberry flavouring)
- 3 tablespoons cornflour
Instructions
- Grease a slice tin (approx 26 x 16 cm).
- Place gelatine and water in a saucepan and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar, glucose and the gelatine to the saucepan and heat over low-medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to the boil and then allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 30 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed and gradually increase speed to high. Beat for a total of 4-5 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and white in colour. Stir through the vanilla extract (or pink colouring and strawberry flavouring for pink marshmallows).
- Pour the marshmallow mixture immediately into the prepared slice tin. Smooth the mixture so it is flat across the top. Allow to set for at least half an hour.
- Prepare a work bench by dusting with half of the cornflour. Once the marshmallow is set, invert the slice tin and ease out the slab of marshmallow. Use a butter knife to gently separate the sides from the tin if necessary. Sprinkle the remaining cornflour over the marshmallow.
- Cut into small squares using a sharp knife. Store marshmallow squares in an airtight container in a cool place (but not the fridge).
