A baker has offered his simple recipe for the perfect homemade marshmallows – and he insisted they taste ‘better’ than the store-bought versions.

To make the seven-ingredient fluffy marshmallows, you will need eggs, caster sugar, gelatine leaves, vanilla bean, glucose, icing sugar and cornflour.

He started by soaking the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water until they soften.
Over medium heat, the 20-year-old combined the sugar, glucose and water in a pot, then he cooked it for three to five minutes, or until the mixture reached 118 degrees Celsius on a sugar thermometer.
Next, he whisked the egg whites until the soft peaks formed.
Once the syrup reached 127°C, he squeezed the excess water from the gelatin leaves and quickly stirred them into the syrup along with the vanilla seeds.
He whisked the egg whites until the soft peaks formed. With the mixer running, he added the syrup and whisked for a further 10 minutes or until cooled and thick. He then transferred the mixture onto a large baking tray lined with baking paper, using a spatula to spread the top evenly, then he refrigerated or until set
Once the marshmallows are set, he cut them into squares and dusted them with sugar. Finally he toasted the marshmallows using a blowtorch and served with hot chocolate

In a separate bowl, he mixed together the icing sugar and corn flour to create the dusting sugar mix.
Once the marshmallows are set, he cut them into squares and dusted them with sugar. Finally he toasted the marshmallows using a blowtorch and served with hot chocolate.
