Ingredients

  • Canola oil
  • for greasing
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored powdered gelatin
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease an 8-inch square cake pan with canola oil.
  2. In a medium heatproof bowl, mix the gelatin with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cold water; let stand for 15 minutes.
  3. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey and 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  5. Cook the syrup over moderately high heat until it registers 250 on a candy thermometer.
  6. Immediately pour the hot syrup into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk.
  7. Scrape in the gelatin mixture and beat at high speed until a smooth white foam forms, about 4 minutes.
  8. Spread the marshmallow in the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
  9. Press a lightly greased sheet of parchment paper on the surface and let stand until set, 3 hours.
  10. Run a sharp knife around the marshmallow.
  11. Very lightly dust a work surface with cornstarch and invert the cake pan onto it, tapping to release the marshmallow.
  12. Using a lightly greased sharp knife, cut the marshmallow into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
