Making Spun Sugar
In order to make spun sugar, it is not necessary to have access to a cotton candy machine of the kind seen at carnivals, though the enclosed machines do make the process safer and significantly less messy. Most spun sugar recipes involve heating a concoction of water, sugar and corn syrup to the optimal temperature of 310°, then cooling it rapidly with ice water. The cook then dips the whisk into the mixture and carefully waves it around, catching the strands on a panhandle or other implement. This process can cause severe burns, and should not be attempted with children nearby. -adapted from The Cooking Inn and About.comThe Cooking Inn: Days of Olde Spun Sugar About.com: Spun Sugar
