- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Makes: 1 serving (82 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 40 g Sugar
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 5 g Butter, unsalted
- 15 g Water
- 2 g Lemon juice
Method
- Toast the flour in a dry pan over low heat, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes until pale golden and fragrant; work in the butter, then set aside to cool.
- Dissolve the sugar in the water with the lemon juice and cook to a soft-ball stage syrup, about 115 °C (239 °F) on a candy thermometer, or until a drop forms a soft, pliable ball in cold water.
- Pour the syrup onto a lightly oiled surface and let it cool just until workable, then knead and pull it repeatedly until it turns pale, opaque and slightly stringy.
- Stretch and fold the sugar rope repeatedly, dusting with the toasted flour each time, until it separates into many thin, floss-like threads coated in flour.
- Pull apart into small tufts and serve; it's a fussy, hands-on candy, so work in a cool, dry kitchen if you can.
