Hong Kong Dragon Beard Candy (Black Sesame Flavor)


 
Hong Kong Dragon Beard Candy (Many Flavors)
 
"Dragon's beard candy (or Chinese cotton candy) is a traditional Chinese sweet similar to spun sugar found in many Chinese communities. It is said to have been invented for the emperor about 2,000 years ago[citation needed]. It consists of many very fine strands of sugar, giving it the imagined appearance and consistency of a fine beard, like that of a dragon -- hence its name.
 
Preparation:  The candy is made by cooking a saturated maltose solution until it has thickened and then leaving it to chill into a solid puck. The resulting solid, which is elastic, is formed into a torusand then repeatedly pulled and folded over, doubling the number of strands after each repetition. While the candy is being folded it is kept covered in toasted glutinous flour, in order to keep the strands from sticking together.
 
The finished beard is cut up into small pieces and then usually wrapped around crushed peanuts. The candy is to be eaten immediately after manufacture, although it will keep for up to six minutes in heat.
 
Traditionally the candy is made from sugar and maltose syrup, although recipes based on corn syrupare now used in the United States.
 
It is common for street vendors of dragon's beard candy to carry out the folding process at their stall, which attracts customers fascinated by the process as much as by a desire to purchase the candy."  Wikipedia.com
