sugar glass
16 Feb 08
ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- food colouring (optional)
- cooking oil
tools
- heavy pot with lid
- pie pans
- candy thermometre
Boil the water, add the sugar and syrup (and food colouring, if desired), and return to a boil. Cover for two minutes. Remove cover and boil without stirring until the mixture reaches 310°F (hard crack)*. Remove from the heat immediately and pour a thin layer into a lightly oiled pan. Let cool, at least 90 minutes.
* – To test for hard crack without a thermometre, drop a drop of the mixture into a glass of cold water. The sugar should make long threads that crack.
