Homemade Marshmallows

Note: this recipe makes around 35 marshmallows; use mini muffin or whatever mould you might have.

Soften the gelatin with 100 ml of hot water (keep the bowl warm in the double boiler).

In a small saucepan combine the 300 ml water and sugar. Place over medium high heat until the mixture reaches 116 centigrade (use a candy thermometer). Once the mixture reaches this temperature remove from heat.

Pour the sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture and using an electric mixture, beat on high speed for 10 minutes. Then add vanilla and beat for one minute more.

Pour the mixture into greased molds (a mini muffin pan should work fine). Leave for at least 6 hours to set. Serve and enjoy.
