Dragon's beard candy

Ingredients:
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/3 cup (80ml) corn syrup or glucose syrup
1/4 cup (60ml) water
1/4 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 cup (60g) cornstarch (for dusting)
1/2 cup (50g) roasted peanuts or toasted sesame seeds, finely chopped (for filling)

In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, water and vinegar.
Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
Heat over medium, without further stirring, until the mixture reaches 271F / 133°C.

Carefully pour the hot syrup into a heat-proof container or silicone ring mold, I just poured it into my counter lined with parchment paper
Let it cool at room temperature until firm yet still pliable (about 15 – 30 min).
Prepare the mold and workspace
While the syrup cools, dust a large tray or work surface generously with cornstarch.
Keep an extra small bowl of cornstarch nearby for dusting your hands and the candy.

When the sugar mass is firm but stretchy, remove the ring and coat it with cornstarch.
Stretch into a larger circle, twist into a figure 8, fold, and stretch again.
Repeat, doubling the strands each round, until thousands of fine threads form.

Cut the threads into short bundles.
Spoon a little chopped peanuts or sesame seeds into the center of each bundle, then fold the strands over to enclose the filling.
Serve immediately
Dragon beard candy is best eaten fresh, as the delicate strands absorb moisture quickly.
