You can also use rice, corn, potato, or tapioca starch for pulling and it isn't as flour. Or even powdered sugar!
Im not wasting rice.
Is there some type of flavoring I can use
@@pokechris1111 I think usually you wrap sone nuts with dragons beard candy so i guess you flavour it like that
@@pokechris1111Confectionery Sugar works well
@@kae0715no one said you had too.
If you're wondering, you have to fold and pull about 14 times.
OMG TY
ill do it like 600,000 times
@@hochuifongwhat is there to not understand
"and accidentally gave myself a second degree burn. but I'm not a giver upper so anyway" like what😭😭
GIRL ARE YOU GOOD? You just poured boiling water and slipped in it 😭
We should definitely comfort her😭
Yea I felt so bad!😅
Why is it funny to me
omg llama :000 i love llamas and alpacas
@@modupeabolanle2420u won’t find it funny if u experience it yoself
Bro said "i got a second degree burn" SO CASUALLY that it actually scared me
Oh my goodness my anxiety when the hot water spilled AND she fell 😭😭: 📈📈📈
Something similar happened to me! I was drinking hot cocoa and it spilled all over me and it was red for days!
@@Moononpaws-ti6iv That sounds so scary!
For anyone wondering you can make candy things without a candy thermometer by looking up a guide on line, you will need to get a container of cold water and spoon some your sugar mixture into the water, the texture it turns into in the water will tell you roighly what stage you have your sugar at (won't work if you need a very accurate temperature but you rarely do usually you just need to get it to a certain stage which has a range of temperatures)
I don't have a thermometer so please can you say me how many minutes I'll boil it?????
@@lailajaffer2743that's literally the point. 🤦♀️😝🤣 It's NOT 🚫 about minutes. You could do EVERY SINGLE thing EXACTLY the same and if you use the exact same time it'll be different EVERY SINGLE TIME. It's NOT about time. It's about the STAGE. If you're making soft caramel for sauce ect then when you spoon it into cold water it'll be soft still. If you want something with hard set, for decorating ect when you drop it in the water it'll immediately solidify. If you can say what you're trying to make I might be able to be more specific. But I WILL say that a thermometer costs next to nothing. If you have one for meats you could use that, that's what I did. 😂 But I often make caramel for sauce and it's SO easy to make. I prefer the leave it the fnck ALONE method. 😂 You stir till the sugar dissolves and then.... You LEAVE it. Swirl the pan gently at the MOST. Use a silicone brush or spatula dipped in water to wipe the crystals above it on the edges of the pan. Dip it back in water constantly, every couple of touches. Just don't make it so wet it drip into the caramel. When it reaches a soft golden colour, well hydrated pee colour 😝🤣 Add salted butter, KerryGold is BEST, cream and a little baking soda constantly stirring like crazy and when it reaches the consistency and taste you want you're done. Enjoy. You can store in the fridge for ages and freeze for easy days. 😂 If you freeze a thick sauce you can smash it up into little pieces and scatter over cookies and cakes halfway through baking for a BEAUTIFUL caramel sauce. But it needs to be a really thick sauce. I will make large batches and pour half out thick, freeze that and then I'll use the other half as a thinner sauce by adding more cream and butter. You can even add Bailey's to it after you've added the butter and half the cream, then you just substitute the final amount of cream for Bailey's, and even a little Kahlua. Which just makes ANYTHING with chocolate and or coffee taste SOO fancy 😂 I usually add a little vanilla or a little something something, just add after the first lot of butter and cream when the temperature has been substantially lowered. The same for any colouring you want to add.
@@cececox6399damn, that's a longgg comment 😅
Jesus Is the way the Truth and the life the first and the last who ever confess that Jesus Is lord will be saved ❤️ Jesus loves you God is Good Jesus Is the way the Truth and the life the first and the last who ever confess that Jesus Is lord will be saved ❤️ Jesus loves you God is Good ..
So what stage do it have to be to make this Desert
Burned yourself and still continued..That's dedication right there 👏
Hahaha I read that as “that’s delirium right there”
In India we use besan (gram flour) to make this and its called 'son papdi'. Its absolutely delicious
Yes it's really hard to make and it's our tradition from 200 300 years ago
Sohan papdi and dragons beard are two different things the output is different
I love Sona padi 😋😋
Isnt soan papdi made from a syrup?
In Pakistan it's patisa but man I LOVE ITTT, whether it is soan papdi or patisa both are yum❤️❤️❤️
Are you ok It's hot boiling water.❤❤
I know this is genuine concern but this is so funny to me /gen
@@ronrealnotfakeI KNOW
@@ronrealnotfakeLMAO SAME 😭😭😭
@@ronrealnotfakecornball
@@TsumikiSlaysyall so evil but same😭💀💀
That looks really yummy, even if it is just sugar and flour
Well it’s corn starch, because raw flour is highly dangerous.
@@CoolRanchPropagandashe used flour
@@peridotgaming5894 I hope she heat treated it in that case
@@CoolRanchPropaganda I think in america flour is already pasteurized
@@peridotgaming5894nope. They had a bunch of recalls recently because people were getting e-coli from it
I love hearing everyone’s names for this. Dragons beard is definitely one of the cooler ones.
Oh shit... That burn😢.
Also , thanks for this. I almost thought I could try it without a candy thermometer 😂
Tip: you can use powdered sugar for a sweet taste,and you can also add food colour in the sugar for a coloured dragons beard
shes like the male version of the guy thinking that his "ego is thriving" but way more chill and actually makes dragon beards candy
As someone who has gotten a second degree burn before, that sh!t hurts, hope you’re okay!
She is the definition of never back down never give up
As someone who's gotten a 3rd-degree liquid burn, I felt that. Literally, I remembered exactly how it feels and was wincing in empathy.
You can also heat up the flower before so that it could be warm and stretchy for a longer period of time 😊
You can figure out if you have hard ball sugar by dropping a bit into water and see if it hardens. My mom used to do that when making Italian meringue buttercream
I’m just amazed that people came up with this dessert back in the day before modern stoves, thermometer, and machines to powder the sugar existed. It must have taken so much talent and hard work. Whoever came up with the recipe must have been a culinary genius!
*gives self second degree burns*
So anyway-
Edit: y’all just take the joke 😭
Edit2: help my notifications 😭😭
Edit3: y’all I’ve never gotten so many likes what😭😭
Edit4: 16K WTHH😭😭😭
Lol

There is something thats very similar to this in Turkey. It is called “pişmaniye”. The recipe is fairly different but it looks kinda similar.
It looks great! It just takes practice and patience. 😉👍🏻❤️I always had it filled with coconut or a peanut mixture, but that’s when I first tried it at the Asian market near my house and I’m obsessed with it! Lol
If you bake the flour before you put the candy in it, it keeps the candy warm while you’re pulling it
Keep up the work.Its good that you didnt give Up!
Bud got second degree burns and still gave it another shot ❤
Best yt channel
You are the most daring girl I have ever seen. Just trying again after getting second degree burn.
The universe *REALLY* didn’t want her making that candy
Omg I wish I could have that right now! It looks so good! And I hope you feel better!
Holy shit. Great job on the candy, hope youre healing well- burns suck
poor girl, we appreciate how determined you are to impress us
That looks so good! Great job btw
I live how resilient u are!i hope ur ok :)
You can also use a bit of Lorraine candy flaviring oils. My grandkiddos like the cotton candy one but the adults liked strawberry. We wrapped it around a chopped mixed nuts. The crunch of the nut mixture and delicate strawberry was nice.
The kids didn't care for the nuts in the middle.
And I agree with other posters/ comments saying use tapioca starch or even corn starch with a bit of powdered sugar really helps.
Girl you’re not the only one with burns I spilled soup on my self 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hope you heal soon 😊❤
My heart goes out to you for spilling that hot water on yourself and giving yourself a second degree burn. A couple months ago I had a cup of water that I JUST POURED from my electric kettle and spilled it on myself as well, giving myself a second degree burn on my stomach.
I made some with my grandma a few years ago and it was really fun, we mixed in some citric acid and sour apple flavor
if you ever have plans on making this again, before folding and pulling the sugar you can heat up the corn starch so the melted sugar wont harden so much 😊
So much chaos in one 30 second vid
I hope ok have a painless recovery! ❤❤
Oh no! I hope you feel better after that terrible burn!!!
getting second degree burns and just “I’m not a giver upper😊😊” and continuing to make the thing that burned you is just madlad shit
The way she tried to catch the mug with the hot water but ended up just throwing it was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
It’s really nice, I’ve tried it several times, in fact I’m eating it rn!
You can also test the mixture with cold water once it is combined and comes to a boil then use a spoon and drop a little into cold water. If it comes together as a ball it's finished and if it stays soft keep boiling. We never had any thermometer growing up we had to do it old fashion...
We call them Grandma's Hair (Rambut Nenek) here in Indonesia. However, we used a bit of lime juice and served them sandwiched between Pink-colored rice paper crackers.
The trick Is baking the corn starch ( or whatever you’re using ) first. It’ll give you more time.
I’m so sorry for you!!!!! Hope your okay :( anyways, I love your video!
In Indonesia this is a sweet snack that's pretty easy to find in minimarket in individual plastic package, called "rambut nenek" (literally mean 'grandma's hair' in english), with plain rice wafers sandwiched the candy. Back then a lot of grandpa or grandma sold it and street food snack like they served it fresh when you bought it but now there isn't any of them anymore.
This was my favorite childhood food! it still is sksk its delicious!
Hope you're better!! Burns are terrible, and I hope it doesn't bothered you too much once tou got to cool your skin.
And so... after watching this girl struggling so much and finally getting the desired result, I've came to the conclusion that I actually can live without this candy but it's still awesome to watch.
Omg!! Same thing happened to me while making tea on vacation! There was no where we could book a doctors appointment too 😅
Thats cool. Never heard of it. Looks great
Congratulations for your perseverance 💪🏾🙌🏾
This girl is a survivor😂😂😂
When i was making it I pulled it and did what you did 14 times it came out amazing
Literally other youtubers struggling with this but uhandled it like a boss😂
I applaud these efforts 👏👏👏
Hope u r ok now. Keep making this sort of content!😊
Oh my gosh, that looks SO satisfying to eat. Looks like I gotta go give myself a second-degree burn!
It turned out really beautifully in the end 🥹
I know how you feel when you have burn. One day, I was making noodles, I tried to grab it out of the microwave, but then I somehow spilled them all over my face and down my shoulder, and I had to go to the ER the next morning because it bubbled up
Miss girl just got a second degree burn and acted so casual abt it 😭
Girl A 2ND DEGREE BURN THAT'S KNOWN AS THE WORST PAIN IN THE WORLD!
You should be able to add flavoring to and food dye. Red or blue would look cool.
As a person who witnessed many dragon beard candy in the making, this is like seeing someone using the wrong formula but somehow got the answer right.
Making dragon beard was the real challenge compared to getting 2nd degree burns, that’s a walk in the park!
I admire your perseverance because to the way I would have gave up after the first failed attempt. 😂
Honestly this would be so cool to use as cake decor!! Like fake edible hair or edible sheep wool! Just ideas!
This same thing happened to me! So first try I undercooked it and didn’t have thermometer, the next time I got and I accidentally let it sit too long, and tried to warm it up in the microwave, but ended up burning my finger really badly. I haven’t tried a third time, but I’m about to
You're genius! I love龙须糖！❤
Absolute legend
Also reminds me of something that’s popular in turkey
im an ex candy worker and we used to make dragon beard as a holiday special in the witer it would get hard as we made it so we heated up the cornstarch in the oven for 10 minutes so you'l have more time to work with❤
how if ur 9
@@Avorkdi-ql7blI would assume get an adult to help
i love how real she is 😭😭
Tip: you can warm the cornstarch and tray in the oven to keep the candy from hardening too fast
THAT FALL 💀💀💀
Burning yourself and slipping is such "Me" Energy LOL
NAW GIRL R U OK?? I BURNED LIKE A TINY SPOT ON MY FINGER AND IT FELT HORRIBLE
It looks pretty like pişmaniye (halva fluff) we eat, except it covered with starch or something like that so strings don't stick.
Btw it helps to bake the cornstarch for 10 min before use!!! ❤
I feel like it's not hard, it's just that if you haven't made it you don't really know what to do, and that makes it more difficult. That's kinda just what I picked up from videos like this, I'm not an expert lol
All that work for something that looks like it just tastes like pure sugar, it looks really cool though
(I've never ate it so for all I know it could be the greatest tasting candy in the world)
bro the dedication 👏🏻
You should use powdered sugar for a better taste
girl i feel so bad but its funny at the same time 😭
that pink pot is really cute
two hacks that you can use while making dragon beards candy
You can heat up the cornstarch, so that way it stays hot for longer
You can use high chew and melt it in a microwave or on a stove top, and it becomes really soft and easy to pull. You still need to use cornstarch, but instead of making the sugar itself, that works better.
U did it at a great cost 😭 I hope ur all good now 🤍
Tips: bake the flour so you have more time with folding the candy
Dragon's Beard Candy is just Turkish Delight with extra twist and turn.
The dedication 😭
She said “i got a second degree burn” so nonchalantly like girl you good 😭
If anyone was wondering you would have to twist it about 14 times to get 16k strands
I love how she didn’t give up after she BURNT herself and failed many time
bro got a second degree burn and continued with her day 💀
Instructions unclear, got second degree burns pls send help
I’m patient, but i don’t even think I have the patience to make this
appreciate the determination!
