SPUN AND PULLED SUGAR : Page 343
PULLING CANDY
When the sugar is cool enough to handle, roll it intoa ball and pull. Each piece should be pulled about 20times. The sugar will soon take on a sheen and become whiter and whiter. If colored candy is desired, a small portion of paste color may be folded in before the batchis pulled. Do not grease your hands before pulling sugar.
WORKING THE BATCH ON THE SCREEN
The batch is divided into two portions and is placedon the screen directly before the electric heater. Thecandy must be kept at a workable consistency. Whileworking with one portion, keep the other portion ofcandy warm and pliable in front of the heater. If the candy you are working with becomes too stiff, switchto the warm piece.
