  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pull apart into small tufts and serve; it's a fussy, hands-on candy, so work in a cool, dry kitchen if you can.
