  1. 1 To help insure success have all ingredients at room temperature before proceeding. Combine the white rice flour, brown rice flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix very well. The flours need to be completely combined.
  2. 2 Combine the gelatin, sugar, egg replacer, milk powder, beaten eggs, vinegar and oil. Beat until well combined.

Instructions

  1. 1 Line bottom and sides of a large baking pan with aluminum foil; coat generously with cooking spray. Coat both sides of a spatula with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. 2 Pour ¾ cup lemon juice into a large bowl; sprinkle gelatin evenly on top. Do not stir. Set aside until gelatin forms, about 15 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, combine 3 cups sugar and remaining ¾ cup lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and stir until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase heat until mixture reaches a low boil; boil until thermometer reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. (The liquid will bubble a lot; you may need to remove the saucepan from the heat to let the bubbles settle, so you can see if the sugar has melted.)
  4. 4 Slowly pour sugar mixture into gelatin, while beating with an electric mixer on low. Gradually increase speed to medium-high; beat until batter ribbons that drip from beaters take 2 seconds to sink back into the bowl, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour marshmallow batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with the prepared spatula to flatten. Set marshmallow aside, uncovered, until completely set, 3 hours to overnight.
  5. 5 Cover a flat surface larger than marshmallow slab with remaining 1 ½ cups sugar; sprinkle some sugar on top of marshmallow and spread around. Carefully loosen marshmallow from the pan; invert onto sugar-covered surface.
  6. 6 Cut marshmallows into desired shapes; dust all sides with sugar as you work.
