Spun sugar

By Abigail Donnelly

Serves Makes enough for 1 cake

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

200 g sugar

Method

1. Melt the sugar in a saucepan over a low heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Allow to stand for about 2 minutes.

2. Carefully dip a fork into the caramel. Working from a height and very quickly, drizzle the sugar over the handle of a wooden spoon so that the caramel makes strands over the handle. Cut them off at the top, shape into soft nests and place on a baking tray while you work.
