☆How to make Cotton candy with out a machine.☆
Are you wonder how to make cotton candy well I'm here to tell you how today its quite easy you just need to follow the steps. theses are some things that you will need.
5 cups sugar (granulated white) ♡
1 1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 cup, 2 tbsp water
flavorings
food coloring
non-stick vegetable oil spray
saucepan (approx 2 qt)
2 long handled spoons (wooden preferred)
wire whisk (one that you won't miss)
wire cutters
candy thermometer
tempered glass bowl
newspaper or garbage bags
You are probely ur think that the stuff above is crazy for making cotton candy but I will tell you why you need it. First you're going to need to use the wire cutters to cut off the rounded bottom of the whisk. you don't necessarily need a whisk just the metal tines that we'll create by cutting off the bottom of the whisk will really be needed right now . Next, use the garbage bags or newspaper to cover the floor where you'll be working or else it will be VERY messy at the end because you certainly don't want melted sugar on your any floor.
Get a large object (such as a large heavy book or something heavy ) and put the two spoons on the counter so that the handles stick out into the air with the other end underneath the book odd right. Spray the ends with the non-stick vegetable oil spray. That takes care of your work area, now onto mixing things up a little bit.
Mix the sugar, corn syrup and water in the saucepan. Cook on about medium heat until the mixture reaches 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Use your candy thermometer to make sure its that the temperature is right. Be sure that it doesn't go over 320 degrees or it will begin to turn brown and burn[it will not taste that good. Trust me].

Use your candy thermometer to make sure its that the temperature is right. Be sure that it doesn't go over 320 degrees or it will begin to turn brown and burn[it will not taste that good. Trust me].
When the mixture has reached that temperature [320], remove the pan from the heat and pour it into your tampered glass bowl. Use pot holders if needed to, it will be VERY hot. It is necessary that you remove it from the pan as soon as possible, otherwise it will continue heating (and turn brown and taste really bad).
If you want to add color or flavor, this is the time to do so. Mix it in immediately!!!!
Using the end of your ''modified'' whisk, dip the end with tines into the mixture and let some excess drip back into the bowl before waving it over the spoon handles. The mixture should land on the handles. Continue doing this until the mixture is gone. You have about 10 minutes before the mixture becomes too hard to wave properly. If it does happen to become hard, just pop it into a microwave for 3-5 minutes, or until it's liquefied again.
Once all the mixture is all used, wait for it to harden and then carefully remove and eat or save for later!
Alternatively, you could use an upside down bowl (that's been sprayed with non-stick spray) and make strands with your whisk. This would give you results closer to the original spun sugar.
