Making Homemade Marshmallows is my dream, but i kind of stayed away from it because i thought it is kind of complicated and it calls for corn syrup and sugar thermometer..But recently i stumbled upon a recipe which catched my eye.Guess what immediately i tried it and it turned out great...

Now take sugar, remaining water in a sauce pan. Mix well. Add in gelatin mix and mix well.
Put this on heat and bring it to a good boil.

2)Always coat them in a good amount of cornflour and sugar mix well. So they dont stick to each other.

Hi Aarthi, is it ok to use normal powdered sugar instead of icing sugar?
Aarthi
@Sunandano icing sugar is what should be used
Raji Warrier
Aarti, thanks for the wonderful recipe. Actually if you line the tray with cling film and extend it to the outside part of the tray, you can easily lift it up and peel off when it is set.
