Recipe preparation:
- To make cotton at home, you you will need wire cutters and an old inexpensive whisk. Cut off rounded ends at the corolla. Place the prongs on equal distance from each other. For the preparation of cotton wool you will also need open space. At home, the floor should be cut open. garbage bag. Fix 2 long wooden spoons by pressing something heavy so that they protrude beyond the edge of the kitchen table.
- In a 1.9 L heavy-bottomed stewpan, mix sugar, corn syrup and water, put on a moderately high fire. Insert a candy thermometer and prepare the sugar mixture to 160 ° C – this is called the cracking stage (sugar in contact with more cold surface becomes brittle). Remove from heat and carefully pour into a medium glass bowl suitable for microwave ovens. If you leave sugar in the stewpan, it will continue prepare and turn dark brown. In a glass bowl he will keep the temperature. I put a towel under a bowl so that it doesn’t toppled over and protect her hands from the hot glass. (About 10 min. the sugar consistency will remain liquid enough to allow had to work with him. Then it will begin to thicken. If this happen before you all done, just put the bowl in microwave for 3-5 minutes, or until sugar again becomes liquid enough.) If you intend to color or flavor sugar, do it now.
- Dip whisk teeth in hot sugar. Let it drain in 1-2 sec. so that the sugar threads become the same consistency. Then rotate the whisk over the protruding wooden spoons – sugar threads will easily sink to the surface spoons. The whisk should be kept at a distance of 30-45 cm. Above them. Make wide, long movements and work fast. Collect candy floss and twist, placing on paper, rolled in a long thin horn – like the way cotton wool is served at carnivals; or serve just like that. If you need to store cotton for several hours, place it in an airtight container. In a humid environment, sugar will be melt.
