　　Homemade marshmallow spread is so ridiculously easy to make that you'll chuckle at yourself for ever having assumed it was complicated. Making it also allows you to use pure vanilla extract, which tastes so much better than the fake vanillin flavoring in many commercial versions. This spread is superb in S'mores Crêpes .

Ingredients

　　2 teaspoons powdered dried egg whites, such as Just Whites

　　2 tablespoons warm water

　　2/3 cup light corn syrup

　　1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

　　1/8 teaspoon salt

　　1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Special Equipment

　　In bowl of mixer, whisk together powdered egg white and warm water until powder is dissolved. Add corn syrup, confectioners' sugar, and salt, and beat on high speed until thick and white, 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla.

　　Cooks' note:

　　You can substitute pasteurized egg whites such as Eggology. Use amount to equal 1 egg white. Leftover spread keeps, covered and refrigerated, for several weeks.
