Ingredients

  • 1 cupwater, divided
  • 3 tbspgelatin
  • 1 cuphoney
  • 1 tbspvanilla extract
  • 1 tbsparrowroot powder (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Add 1/2 cup water to a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.

  2. 2

    Sprinkle the gelatin evenly overtop and allow to bloom.

  3. 3

    Add remaining water and the honey to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Start to mix the bloomed gelatin on low speed. In a slow stream, pour in the honey mixture.

  5. 5

    Add the vanilla extract.

  6. 6

    Turn the speed of the mixer up to high. Beat for 8-10 minutes, until it has turned into thick, glossy white marshmallow fluff. The fluff should barely drip off of the mixer.

  7. 7

    Quickly pour the marshmallow fluff into a parchment lined baking dish or baking sheet.

  8. 8

    Allow marshmallows to set overnight before slicing into squares.

  9. 9

    To prevent sticking, toss in arrowroot powder. I usually skip this step.
