You can also use rice, corn, potato, or tapioca starch for pulling and it isn't as flour. Or even powdered sugar!

@ashrowan2143 10 месяцев назад

For anyone wondering you can make candy things without a candy thermometer by looking up a guide on line, you will need to get a container of cold water and spoon some your sugar mixture into the water, the texture it turns into in the water will tell you roighly what stage you have your sugar at (won't work if you need a very accurate temperature but you rarely do usually you just need to get it to a certain stage which has a range of temperatures)

@lailajaffer2743 10 месяцев назад

I don't have a thermometer so please can you say me how many minutes I'll boil it?????

@cececox6399 10 месяцев назад

@@lailajaffer2743that's literally the point. 🤦‍♀️😝🤣 It's NOT 🚫 about minutes. You could do EVERY SINGLE thing EXACTLY the same and if you use the exact same time it'll be different EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's NOT about time. It's about the STAGE. If you're making soft caramel for sauce ect then when you spoon it into cold water it'll be soft still. If you want something with hard set, for decorating ect when you drop it in the water it'll immediately solidify. If you can say what you're trying to make I might be able to be more specific. But I WILL say that a thermometer costs next to nothing. If you have one for meats you could use that, that's what I did. 😂 But I often make caramel for sauce and it's SO easy to make. I prefer the leave it the fnck ALONE method. 😂 You stir till the sugar dissolves and then.... You LEAVE it. Swirl the pan gently at the MOST. Use a silicone brush or spatula dipped in water to wipe the crystals above it on the edges of the pan. Dip it back in water constantly, every couple of touches. Just don't make it so wet it drip into the caramel. When it reaches a soft golden colour, well hydrated pee colour 😝🤣 Add salted butter, KerryGold is BEST, cream and a little baking soda constantly stirring like crazy and when it reaches the consistency and taste you want you're done. Enjoy. You can store in the fridge for ages and freeze for easy days. 😂 If you freeze a thick sauce you can smash it up into little pieces and scatter over cookies and cakes halfway through baking for a BEAUTIFUL caramel sauce. But it needs to be a really thick sauce. I will make large batches and pour half out thick, freeze that and then I'll use the other half as a thinner sauce by adding more cream and butter. You can even add Bailey's to it after you've added the butter and half the cream, then you just substitute the final amount of cream for Bailey's, and even a little Kahlua. Which just makes ANYTHING with chocolate and or coffee taste SOO fancy 😂 I usually add a little vanilla or a little something something, just add after the first lot of butter and cream when the temperature has been substantially lowered. The same for any colouring you want to add.

You can also use a bit of Lorraine candy flaviring oils. My grandkiddos like the cotton candy one but the adults liked strawberry. We wrapped it around a chopped mixed nuts. The crunch of the nut mixture and delicate strawberry was nice. The kids didn't care for the nuts in the middle. And I agree with other posters/ comments saying use tapioca starch or even corn starch with a bit of powdered sugar really helps.

@DaniFelicia 10 месяцев назад

You can also test the mixture with cold water once it is combined and comes to a boil then use a spoon and drop a little into cold water. If it comes together as a ball it's finished and if it stays soft keep boiling. We never had any thermometer growing up we had to do it old fashion...

Back then a lot of grandpa or grandma sold it and street food snack like they served it fresh when you bought it but now there isn't any of them anymore.

two hacks that you can use while making dragon beards candy You can heat up the cornstarch, so that way it stays hot for longer You can use high chew and melt it in a microwave or on a stove top, and it becomes really soft and easy to pull. You still need to use cornstarch, but instead of making the sugar itself, that works better.
