Mix powdered sugar and corn starch in a bowl and sift it together. Sift half of the mixture in the bottom of an 9 x 13 baking dish. Set aside the rest of the mixture.

In a medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup cold water, light corn syrup, salt and sugar until it reaches 235 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Let sit for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, pour hot mixture into the gelatin mixture while mixer is on. Add vanilla. Slowing turn up mixer to high. Mix on high about 9 minutes or until mixture is white, thick and shiny. Using a rubber spatula, scrape all the white fluff into the baking dish you covered the bottom of with cornstarch mixture. Let set for 6 hours minimum, 24 maximum.

After set time is complete, sift the remaining cornstarch mixture in a large work surface. Take a flat spatula and slide it around the marshmallow. Gently pry up marshmallow all around the edges and bottom.when it is loose enough, turn dish upside down over powdered surface. Sift remaining powder all over the top.
