S'mores! :D

Camping outdoors is super fun. With the faint possibility of one such spontaneous trip in the offing, I decided to make Marshmallows. I like dunking them into my coffee or even better, place charred marshmallows between crackers (don't forget to spread some Nutella) and make delicious  S'mores. Small and simple winter indulgences makes me swoon! 

Ingredients

1) 1 1/2 cup sugar
2) 2 egg whites
3) 3 tbsp powdered gelatin
4) 1 tbsp vanilla essence
5) A pinch of salt

Recipe

1) Sprinkle the gelatin over half a cup of cold water and let it rest for fifteen minutes.
2) Heat(medium heat) another 1/2 cup water with the sugar and salt, in a saucepan. Keep stirring until everything dissolves. Increase the heat and discontinue the stirring. Remember, the sugar should not burn i.e the mixture should not turn into brown caramel. Stop the process if you see any signs of brown tinges, forming. The sugar syrup should be on the heat for 6-10 minutes. This requires practice. Otherwise, use a candy thermometer  and stop the cooking when the temp reached 240 F.
3) Slowly pour the hot syrup into the water with bloomed gelatin and whisk on low to medium speed. Keep whisking for 10-15 minutes until the mixture doubles. It should be fluffy and cool to the touch.
4) In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the vanilla essence until meringue(stiff white peaks) forms. Fold it into the sugar syrup mixture. Line a tray with icing sugar and fill it with the marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle the top with icing sugar. Refrigerate over night. Cut into squares, roll in sugar and pop em into your mouth.
