In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, water, and salt. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that no sugar granules are stuck to the sides of the pan.
Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan, making sure the tip is immersed in the mixture but not touching the bottom of the pan. Heat the mixture over medium heat without stirring until it reaches 240°F (soft-ball stage). This process should take about 8–10 minutes.
While the sugar mixture is heating, place the egg whites and cream of tartar into a clean, grease-free mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer, whip the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 2–3 minutes.
Once the sugar syrup reaches 240°F, remove it from the heat. With the mixer running on low speed, carefully and slowly drizzle the hot syrup into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream. Be cautious to avoid splatters.
After all the syrup is incorporated, increase the mixer speed to high and continue whipping the mixture until it becomes thick, glossy, and has cooled to room temperature. This will take 6–8 minutes.
Once the mixture is cool, add the vanilla extract and beat for an additional 30 seconds to incorporate.
Transfer the marshmallow fluff to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a spread, ingredient, or topping for your favorite treats!
