Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients together in a medium pot and, using a pastry brush soaked in water, wash down the sides of the pot to make sure there is no caramelization to color the sugar before you get to temperature.
- Heat the ingredients on the stove top to 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat and cool to 275 degrees over a water bath.
- Dip a fork in the sugar syrup and stretch the sugar syrup back and forth across the bottom of a pre-greased bowl, going as quickly as possible. Gently gather the spun sugar and place it on a dessert plate.

Can I use maple sugar / syrup for this? I want to make a topper for a maple cupcake
This was my first time to spin sugar. I followed the directions exactly and it came out perfect. I wrapped a rolling pin with parchment paper, then spun the sugar onto it. Now I have a tub of spun sugar to set on top of a pie that I am making for Thanksgiving. Thank you Toni and Ina for this idea!
