SPUN SUGAR One piece of equipment you must have in order to make spun sugar properly is a "shaker." This shakeris a four inch square of wood, one inch thick. Fifty3-inch nails are driven through the wood 1/2 inchapart. SPUN SUGAR RECIPE 2 lbs. granulated sugar1 lb. corn syrup 1 pint water METHOD Mix together well. Cook to 290. While cooking, the sides of the pan should be washed down at least 2times using hot water and a brush. This eliminates thecrystals that form on the side of the pan. Remove from heat and add coloring. To spin the sugar, two long sticks are placed on atable about 11/2 feet apart, extending over the table as illustrated. Stand on a chair to be at a proper height to spin the sugar. Hold pan in the left hand.Dip the shaker down into the candy, lift it up, and let it drain off slightly. Lift the sugar above the sticks and shake back and forth vigorously with a series of long movements. The sugar will fall in fine strands over the sticks. Continue until you have the amount shown in the illustration.
