How to Make Homemade Marshmallows No Corn Syrup

1. Dust an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with powdered sugar. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, soak 3 packets (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) of unflavored gelatin in 8 tablespoons of cold water. Set aside.
3. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
5. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the saucepan.
6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring continuously.
7. Remove from heat and immediately pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
8. Let stand until the mixture is lukewarm (about 10-15 minutes).
9. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or your desired flavoring).
10. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is fluffy, glossy, and has doubled in volume (approximately 10-15 minutes).
11. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to about 1/2-inch thickness.
12. Let stand at room temperature until completely set and no longer sticky to the touch (at least 4-6 hours or overnight).
13. Cut into 1.5-inch squares.
14. Roll the marshmallows in powdered sugar (or toasted coconut flakes) to coat.
15. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
