Ingredients
- 500 g of crystallized sugar
- 15 cl of water
- 1 tbsp of glucose.
Put the sugar, water and glucose in a saucepan. Heat to 115° then remove from heat and let the temperature drop to 70°.
Mix with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes completely white. Then, work by hand to obtain a well homogeneous paste. Store in a well sealed box 3 to 5 days before using.
