Instructions
- In a saucepan, mix the sugar, water and glucose syrup. Heat over medium heat without stirring until it comes to the boil.
- Cook until it reaches 150 °C on a thermometer, that is a syrup that snaps cleanly when dropped into a glass of cold water.
- Take off the heat, then quickly stir in the flavouring and colouring.
- Using a spoon, drop small blobs onto an oiled plate or a sheet of baking paper.
- Leave to harden for 30 minutes, then peel the sweets off and store them in an airtight box.
Variations and tips
Caramel sweets. Cook the sugar dry until it turns golden caramel, then add 30 g of butter and 80 ml of cream off the heat.
