  • Dragon's Beard Candy, also know as pashmak, or ggultarae, is a handmade confection made of thousands of threads of pulled sugar, so fine that they resemble hair. Here's my attempt (including the many fails) to make this ancient and delightful candy. 😇 New videos every Thursday and Saturday!

    One really important thing to remember when heating sugar in a pot with a liquid (usually water) is to only stir the slightest bit at the very beginning to dissolve the crystals, and then do NOT stir again. At all. It changes the state of the sugar and hardens it. I know it's considered common knowledge, but if you didn't know, just remember that.

    As a professional cook but not quite a chef, thank you for making and showing your mistakes. Being a younger culinary professional can be daunting and often times masters/teachers of the trade don't share the mistakes that help them learn. Learning from others mistakes is one of the things that has made food so diverse and rich, and I can't understand why the learning process isn't developed to help apprentices correct their mistakes instead of just not making any in the first place.

Granted there are a few subspecies that may not be around anymore but that's like saying humans are extinct because the ancient Egyptians don't exist anymore. Furthermore humans causing things to go extinct has only just recently started happening. We basically just got here and we are practically already out the door. Just like the lystrosaurus which is arguably one of the most successful land animals to ever exist. So many things have gone extinct before we had a chance to affect them. Literally everything on Earth could die and in just a few billion years the earth will just reset itself just like it's been doing for the last 3 billion this whole crazy process will restart its natural Extinction Cycles all over again.

    Hello Lovelies, There seems to be confusion with my counting in the video, so let me clarify what exactly I was counting. The initial circle (the steering wheel of candy) is 1 LOOP which consists of and will make 2 STRANDS. And for the remaining part of pulling process I'm referring to the number of STRANDS, not loops. "1 loop is 2 strands, then 4 strands, 8 strands , 16, 32, 64...16,384 strands of candy.

      Did you cut it on opposite sides in the end and put it on top of each other? 🤔
      Then it would be:
      2 cuts on 1 loop = 2 strands.
      Can't tell for sure from the video🧐
      But it looks like you where just ripping it once and rolling it up.
      That would be:
      1 cut on 1 loop = 1 strand
      or am I getting it wrong? 😅

I had a neighbor who used to make it early morning and then sell it door to door. I once helped him in stretching part at the age of 8 and he handled it with metal rods to stretch because it was hot and in big amount which can't be handled by one person, there were like 10 people stretching one giant hula-hoop.

    Wow you did an awesome job for never ding this before. It needs to stay a specific temp . when they make it they are in either hot weather or they have a heating lamp or the actual counter is temp controlled that's how they do it so fast and it's giving u such a hard time because you are actually using ur hands to warm it... They all make it look so gosh darn easy. Lol.

    First off. Your videos are great. Inspired me to make dragons beard. Here’s a tip I figured out. Pulling makes it break and stretch unevenly. Twisting the candy back and forth is much better. When you double the ring twist both ways then rotate the ring 90degrees and twist. Also do it fast. And when you think too much starch. Add a ton more. I studied the makers before I attempted it. But your recipe.
    Putting it in the fridge helped as well.
