Ingredients
  

For the Sugar Syrup
  • 1 cup Water Provides essential moisture for the sugar syrup.
  • 2 cups Sugar Sweetens the fluff and lends structure.
  • 1 cup Light Corn Syrup Prevents crystallization for a smooth finish.
For the Egg Whites
  • 4 large Egg Whites Room temperature works best for whipping.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar Stabilizes egg whites to hold peaks.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds rich flavor; can substitute with almond extract.

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottom saucepan
  • Candy thermometer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of light corn syrup. Heat without stirring until it reaches a rolling boil.
  2. While the sugar syrup is boiling, add 4 large egg whites and 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Once the sugar syrup reaches 240°F, slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the whipped egg whites while keeping the mixer running on medium speed.
  4. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the mixture for about 7-8 minutes until it transforms into a thick and glossy marshmallow fluff.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and allow the fluff to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
