Ingredients
- 1-1/4 Cup Water
- Two 1/4-ounce packets powdered gelatin
- 1/2 Cup cornstarch
- 1/2 Cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 Cup corn syrup
- 1-1/2 Cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 vanilla beans
Preparation
Step 1
Combine 3/4 cup cold water and two 1/4-ounce packets powdered gelatin in a small bowl. Mix 1/2 cup each confectioner's sugar and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Sprinkle half of the cornstarch mixture in an 8-inch square pan. Cook 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat until 325 degrees on a candy thermometer, 6-8 minutes. Combine the syrup, gelatin mixture and the seeds from 2 vanilla beans in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium high heat until thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Scrape into the pan and spread evenly with a buttered spatula. Sprinkle with the remaining cornstarch mixture, let dry overnight, then slice into squares.
