Homemade Marshmallows

1. Combine 1/2 cup water and gelatin in a small bowl. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
2. While the gelatin is blooming, combine the other 1/2 cup water, granulated sugar, and honey in a small pot. Allow this mixture to come to a simmer on medium heat, then cover with a lid for two minutes.
3. After two minutes, remove the lid and place a candy thermometer in your pot. Allow the sugar mixture to reach 245°F, then remove from heat.
4. Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, add your bloomed gelatin and turn to medium speed. Slowly add in the hot sugar mixture until all is incorporated into the stand mixer.
5. Turn the speed up to high and allow this to mix for seven minutes, or until your marshmallows are light in color and have tripled in size.
6. Transfer your marshmallow mixture to a lined 9x9 baking dish. Top generously with cornstarch and powdered sugar.
7. Allow these to set for three hours.
8. Once your marshmallows have set, cut them into squares and they’re ready to be enjoyed!
