Ingredients
- Granulated sugar - 2.5 stacks.
- Water - 1 stack.
- Wheat flour - 2.5 stacks.
- Citric acid - 0.5 tsp.
- Vegetable oil - 1-2 tbsp. l
Step cooking
- We take the pan, pour 2.5 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water there. Shake the pan so that the water is evenly distributed over the sugar. Do not mix with a spoon. We put on the fire and let it boil. Cook after boiling for 9 minutes.
- We put the pot on the fire and do not lose time. We need to lightly fry the flour. To do this, pour 2.5 cups of flour into a dry frying pan and, stirring with a spoon, warm it well. We don’t fry it to the extent that it changes color. The main thing is that moisture leaves the flour.
- After 9 minutes, add 0.5 teaspoon of citric acid to the sugar syrup and cook for another minute.
- Take a baking sheet. We pour and spread 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on it.
- Check if our syrup is ready. To do this, drop it a little on a baking sheet and use a stick to check for ductility. If it is not viscous enough and does not reach for the wand, cook it for a few more minutes and check again.
- When our syrup is ready, pour it on a baking sheet so that it cools down.
- Pour the cooled flour onto the work surface. We collect caramel to the center with a spatula, and until it cools down, transfer it to flour. Work must be fast. Otherwise, if the caramel cools down, it will be very difficult to stretch it.
- Dip the caramel in flour and pull into a bagel. Then we make a figure eight out of it, fold its halves on top of each other and continue to further stretch it evenly in a circle.
- We repeat this procedure again and again: we pull out in a circle, fold it into a figure of eight, put its halves on top of each other and again continue to pull in a circle until the fibers become very thin. If there are pieces inside, we separate them and do not waste time on them. Please note that if the syrup is too thick, it will not stretch so easily. When the whole mass cools, it becomes harder to pull. And if you pull harder, then it can break. It is advisable to pull gently so that the fibers do not break. When the fibers become completely thin, the mass is ready and you can form a treat from it.
- We divide the mass into separate fibers and twist small "nests" out of them. Top them can be sprinkled with pistachios or toasted walnuts. If you are not going to serve the treat immediately, you need to put it in a single layer in a tray and close it with a lid, because it does not like moisture and starts to stick together.
