Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

One sure-fire way to impress your guests is adding spun sugar to your desserts. The golden nests are stunning to look at and delicious as well.

Ingredients

  • 200 g sugar

Cooking Instructions

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.
