1 Tbsp liquid glucose
9 sheets of gelatine
2 large egg whites
1 Tsp vanilla extract

Beat the egg whites with an electric whisk. When they begin to fluff up continue beating but reduce the speed then slowly pour in the sugar syrup. It will start to thicken. Add vanilla the extract whisk for 5 minutes until the mixture is stiff enough to hold its own shape.
Lightly grease a shallow tray with oil then dust with icing sugar and cornflour. Pour in marshmallow mix leave to set in the fridge for one hour.
Cut into squares, place on a wire rack allow to dry. You can flavour and colour to the marshmallows with a few drops of extract and food colouring.
