What You Need
You will need:
• 1 1/2 cups of sugar
• 1/2 cup of cream
• 1/4 cup of corn syrup
• 10-12 small marshmallows
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of water
• A candy thermometer
Begin by heating the water and sugar in a pan on the stove. You do not want the water to boil, so you will need to monitor the temperature with a candy thermometer. Once the temperature reaches 250 degrees, or 260 degrees for some recipes, turn off the heat. Stir in the corn syrup. Let the syrup mixture sit for 10-15 minutes, so the sugar starts to dissolve.
Next, you’ll need to add the cream to the syrup mixture. You can add the cream to the sugar mixture with the help of an immersion blender. You’ll also need to add the marshmallows to the syrup mixture. Start by slicing the marshmallows into pieces, then soak the marshmallows in a bowl of hot water for about 20-30 minutes. Drain and dry the marshmallows. Make sure they are completely dry, then drop them into the syrup mixture. The marshmallows will sink to the bottom of the pan. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are evenly coated in the syrup mixture. Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Once the syrup mixture is completely cool, you can transfer it to an airtight container.
How to Make Cotton Candy without a Machine
A cotton candy machine is a simple tool that can make cotton candy at home. It comes with all sorts of other features, including an automatic dispenser. While it’s nice to have a cotton candy machine at home, it isn’t necessary. There are a number of recipes for making cotton candy that can be made without a machine. The first step is to mix the sugar with the corn syrup, water, and coloring. Then, you need to heat the mixture until it reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. When it reaches that temperature, you slowly pour in the mixture onto a counter that has a fine screen. Then, you use a giant slotted spoon to carefully drop the mixture onto the counter. Once all of the mixture has been dropped on the counter, you need to sprinkle it with salt. Then, you need to immediately flatten the candy into a sheet. As the candy gets cold, it becomes firm. When the candy is fully cooled, you need to cut it into squares. This takes a little practice to perfect, but it’s not difficult to do. The sugar mixture can also be used to make candy shapes. The salt makes the candy hard, but it also makes the sugar mixture stay sweet for longer.
What Happens When You Make Cotton Candy?
Cotton candy is a lot of fun to make, and it can be a very colorful and tasty treat. To make cotton candy at home, you’ll need a candy thermometer and an electric or stove-top-based kitchen mixer. You can also make cotton candy with a long rolling pin. To make cotton candy, you’ll need some sugar, candy thermometer, vegetable oil, and a container. Place the sugar in a heat-proof glass bowl. Fill the bowl with water until the water is about three-fourths of the way up the bowl. Place the bowl on the stove-top or in a microwave. Cook the sugar until it reaches the soft-ball stage (235˚F). When the sugar reaches the soft-ball stage, mix the sugar with the candy thermometer. When the sugar reaches the soft-ball stage, pour the sugar into the mixer. Turn the mixer on. Mix the sugar with the thermometer until the sugar begins to change color. This will take about 5-10 minutes. When the sugar begins to change color, remove the thermometer from the mixer.
Cotton Candy Recipe
When you are a kid, cotton candy is the first candy you’re likely to find. It is delicious and it is always fun to make. But, if you want to make it at home, you may be wondering whether or not it is possible. After all, cotton candy requires heat and a spinning stick, which makes it a bit too technical for the average home cook. And, while you may have seen videos of people making it at home, they always seem to use a machine that is well beyond the price range of most people. Luckily, we’re going to teach you how to make cotton candy without a machine.
