Homemade Marshmallows

This is a favorite of the girls and so easy to make.

2 Tablespoons plain, unflavored gelatin (2 envelopes)
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup hot water
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
powdered sugar

Soften gelatin in the cold water. Combine the sugar and hot water. Boil to a soft ball stage (236-238 degrees). Add gelatin and salt; beat until stiff. Add vanilla. Beat thoroughly. Pour into an 8 x 8 inch pan that has been dusted with powdered sugar. Allow marshmallows to stand until stiff enough to hold its shape. Cut into strips. Remove from pan. Cut into squares and roll in powdered sugar.
