Cooking steps

1. Pour gelatin into half a glass of water and let it swell for 15 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Gelatin: 25 g
   • Water: 1 glass

2. We prepare the syrup by mixing 1.5 cups of sugar, corn syrup, salt, and half a cup of water in a small saucepan. Boil over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil until the syrup reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer (about 8 minutes by eye). Remove from heat.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 1.6 glass
   • Corn syrup: 1 glass
   • Salt: 0.3 teaspoon
   • Water: 1 glass

3. Slowly pour the sugar syrup into the dissolved gelatin in a thin stream, mixing with a mixer on low speed. Gradually increase the speed, beating the mixture to a thick mass. This will take 15 minutes. Add vanilla and beat for another half minute.

   Required ingredients:

   • Gelatin: 25 g
   • Vanilla extract: 1 tablespoon

4. Generously sprinkle the baking dish (can be covered with foil) with powdered sugar and place the prepared mixture in it. Smooth the top and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Leave it overnight at room temperature.

   Required ingredients:

   • Confectioner's sugar: 40 g

5. When the mixture sets into a sticky mass, we turn the mold onto a powdered board and cut out shaped or simple square marshmallows. We generously dust them with powder.

   Required ingredients:
