Homemade Marshmallows

2 1/2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting
Combine gelatin and 1/2 cup cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer with whisk attachment. Let stand 30 minutes.
Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan; place over low heat, and stir until sugar has dissolved. Wash down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to dissolve sugar crystals.
Raise heat to high and cook syrup without stirring until it reaches 244*F (firm-ball stage). Immediately remove pan from heat.
With mixer on low speed, slowly and carefully pour syrup into the softened gelatin. Increase speed to high; beat until mixture is very thick and white and has almost tripled in volume, about 15 minutes. Add vanilla; beat to incorporate.
Generously dust an 8 x 2-inch glass baking pan with powdered sugar. Pour marshmallow mixture into pan. Dust top with powdered sugar; wet your hands, and pat it to smooth. Dust with powdered sugar; let stand overnight, uncovered, to dry out.
Turn out onto a board; cut marshmallows with a dry hot knife into 1 1/2-inch squares, and dust with more powdered sugar.
Makes about 40 (1 1/2-inch) squares.

Cook's Note: Instead of vanilla extract, use other flavorings like cherry extract. Tint the marshmallow mixture with food coloring to reflect the flavor

Homemade Marshmallows:
1/4 cup powdered gelatin
1 cup cold water
2 cups sugar
2 egg whites
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted, plus more for dusting pan and marshmallows
Butter, for greasing pan

In a medium sized saucepan soak the gelatin in the water. After the gelatin has softened, approximately 10 minutes, add the regular sugar and then gently dissolve over low heat, approximately 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

In a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks and then fold in the sifted confectioners' sugar. While the mixer is on low, slowly poor in the cooled gelatin mixture. Increase the speed and beat until white and thick. The volume should double in size.

Line an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with high sides with foil, grease slightly with butter, and coat with confectioners' sugar. Alternatively, you can use a baking sheet, but the marshmallows will not be as tall. Pour marshmallow mixture in and top with more sifted confectioners' sugar. Leave out overnight or for at least 3 hours to set. The marshmallow should be light and spongy when set.

Loosen marshmallow from edges of tray and invert onto a large cutting board. Peel off foil and use a large knife to cut the marshmallows into cubes. Dredge each piece in confectioners' sugar.

Chocolate-Marshmallow Brownies:

Although these brownies can be eaten just after they cool, we find them at their best if you let them stand overnight.

4 (1-ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Heat chocolate and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Stir in sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar melts. Cool 15 minutes.

Add eggs; stir until blended. Add flour, salt, and vanilla, stirring until blended. Stir in chocolate morsels and marshmallows, and pour into a greased 13- x 9-inch pan.

Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes; cool in pan on a wire rack. Cover brownies, and let stand at room temperature 8 hours.

Yield: 24 brownies
