Ingredients

3tb gelatin (or 3 sachets) + 1/2 cup water

2/3 cup corn syrup

1/2 cup water

2 cups superfine sugar

1/4 tsp salt

2tb vanilla extract

food coloring

2/3 cup powdered or confectioners sugar

2/3 cup cornstarch

Directions

In the bottom of a large mixing bowl (or bowl of your mixer) mix gelatin with 1/2 cup water - set aside.

In a double boiler, combine superfine sugar, 1/2 cup water and corn syrup

While this is boiling away, combine the cornstarch and powdered sugar together. Spray a baking dish with non-stick spray and sift 1/3 of the powdered sugar/mix over the dish

Boil until reaches 120 degrees - if you don't have a thermometer - boil until mixture goes completely clear - you can do this in the microwave, but make sure you watch it like a hawk, and stir regularly.

When mix is clear, start your mixture or beat the gelatin mixture and gradually add the sugar mix, mix on high for about 7-10 minutes until mixture becomes thick and meringue-like.

Add vanilla, salt and food color and beat for another minute until totally combined

Pour into dish and leave to set for about 15 minutes (it doesn't need to go in the fridge!)

Sift a further 1/3 of the sugar/cornstarch mix on the top and then turn out the marshmallow slab onto the table

Cut up or cut out with cookie cutters if you wish - dust with the remaining 1/3 of sugar/cornstarch mix

Store in airtight container.

Variations: Instead of vanilla, add mint extract and dip marshmallows in dark chocolate
