How do you make candy floss sugar?

Answer 1

Candy-floss machines depending on type use either granulated sugar OR they sometimes specify caster sugar - especially for home machines.

So basically, there is nothing to make - either buy granulated suagr OR caster sugar.

If you want to make caster sugar instead of buying it (from granulated, then for very small amounts, just use a pestle and mortar and lightly crush it.

For larger amounts, just give it a go in the blender for a few seconds - but don't go too mad or you will make icing sugar.

If you want to use coloured / flavoured sugar, you can buy concentrated colour flavour addditives (Google is your friend as may be a certain online auction site - search for candy floss flavour).

OR you can add a couple of drops to granulated sugar - just enough to wet it a TINY amount - and then blend the sugar together until you have slightly damp coloured sugar. If you dissolve it all, it is no use for the machine. When you done this, you must let all the moisture from the colour / flavour dry out totally until your sugar is completely dry again. then you can give it a quick go with the blender to make sure it is free flowing - and away you go.

Other options for flavour with sugar is to store the sugar in the presence of what you want to flavour it with - sugar is very good at picking up flavours from things in the same area - so if you get a sealed plastic box (like a big cake box) and put a load of suagr in there and - for example - a saucer of vanilla essence, then after a few days (or less) you will have vanilla flavoured sugar.
