Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup cold water divided
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 vanilla bean scraped
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

  1. Sprinkle the gelatin over half a cup of cold water and let it bloom.
  2. Boil the sugar, corn syrup, and remaining water until it reaches 240F.
  3. With the mixer running, slowly pour the hot syrup into the gelatin.
  4. Add the scraped vanilla bean and whip until thick and glossy, about 10 minutes.
  5. Spread into a powdered-sugar-dusted pan and let set 4 hours.
  6. Cut into cubes and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

Let them set uncovered for a few hours so they firm up enough to cut cleanly.
