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
@@zoealodia267no one said you had too.
"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
If you're wondering, you have to fold and pull about 14 times.
OMG TY

@@hochuifongwhat is there to not understand
Bro said "i got a second degree burn" SO CASUALLY that it actually scared me

Burned yourself and still continued..That's dedication right there 👏
Hahaha I read that as “that’s delirium right there”
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.

So what stage do it have to be to make this Desert
Are you ok It's hot boiling water.❤❤
I know this is genuine concern but this is so funny to me /gen

@@TsumikiSlaysyall so evil but same😭💀💀
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❤️❤️❤️
Oh shit... That burn😢.
Also , thanks for this. I almost thought I could try it without a candy thermometer 😂
I love hearing everyone’s names for this. Dragons beard is definitely one of the cooler ones.
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
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
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.
As someone who has gotten a second degree burn before, that sh!t hurts, hope you’re okay!
girl went threw all 5 stages of grief just to make candy that tastes like sugar and flour😭
You can also heat up the flower before so that it could be warm and stretchy for a longer period of time 😊
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!
There is something thats very similar to this in Turkey. It is called “pişmaniye”. The recipe is fairly different but it looks kinda similar.
Bud got second degree burns and still gave it another shot ❤
Best yt channel
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
The universe *REALLY* didn’t want her making that candy
The way she tried to catch the mug with the hot water but ended up just throwing it was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
If you bake the flour before you put the candy in it, it keeps the candy warm while you’re pulling it
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
poor girl, we appreciate how determined you are to impress us
That looks so good! Great job btw
Girl you’re not the only one with burns I spilled soup on my self 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hope you heal soon 😊❤
So much chaos in one 30 second vid
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.
You are the most daring girl I have ever seen. Just trying again after getting second degree burn.
Miss girl just got a second degree burn and acted so casual abt it 😭
Thats cool. Never heard of it. Looks great
Keep up the work.Its good that you didnt give Up!
Holy shit. Great job on the candy, hope youre healing well- burns suck
This girl is a survivor😂😂😂
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.
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
Burning yourself and slipping is such "Me" Energy LOL
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
This was my favorite childhood food! it still is sksk its delicious!
Omg I wish I could have that right now! It looks so good! And I hope you feel better!
The trick Is baking the corn starch ( or whatever you’re using ) first. It’ll give you more time.
It’s really nice, I’ve tried it several times, in fact I’m eating it rn!
Making dragon beard was the real challenge compared to getting 2nd degree burns, that’s a walk in the park!
bro got a second degree burn and continued with her day 💀
It turned out really beautifully in the end 🥹
NAW GIRL R U OK?? I BURNED LIKE A TINY SPOT ON MY FINGER AND IT FELT HORRIBLE
Literally other youtubers struggling with this but uhandled it like a boss😂
Girl A 2ND DEGREE BURN THAT'S KNOWN AS THE WORST PAIN IN THE WORLD!
Oh my gosh, that looks SO satisfying to eat. Looks like I gotta go give myself a second-degree burn!
I admire your perseverance because to the way I would have gave up after the first failed attempt. 😂
THAT FALL 💀💀💀
i love how real she is 😭😭
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.
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.
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 😊
Instructions unclear, got second degree burns pls send help
She said “i got a second degree burn” so nonchalantly like girl you good 😭
I applaud these efforts 👏👏👏
Oh no! I hope you feel better after that terrible burn!!!
Omg!! Same thing happened to me while making tea on vacation! There was no where we could book a doctors appointment too 😅
Congratulations for your perseverance 💪🏾🙌🏾
bro the dedication 👏🏻
girl are you ok you made it seem so chill that you got second degree burn😭
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
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.
AINT NO WAY SHE GOT A SECOND DEGREE BURN AND JUST IGNORED IT😭💀
You're genius! I love龙须糖！❤
I hope ok have a painless recovery! ❤❤
girl i feel so bad but its funny at the same time 😭
U did it at a great cost 😭 I hope ur all good now 🤍
The dedication 😭
Honestly this would be so cool to use as cake decor!! Like fake edible hair or edible sheep wool! Just ideas!
Absolute legend
You should use powdered sugar for a better taste
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...
Hope u r ok now. Keep making this sort of content!😊
When i was making it I pulled it and did what you did 14 times it came out amazing
I’m patient, but i don’t even think I have the patience to make this
I’m so sorry for you!!!!! Hope your okay :( anyways, I love your video!
“I’m not a giver upper!”
Me: trying to find the word that she was thinking about but it slipped my mind too 💀
My mum calls that grandpa’s beard and they used to sell it in packets back in lebanon and me and her always fought over it lol
*Gets second degree burns*
"Tis but a scratch."
Wow awesome!
I love this
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
U a trooper for that, I would've given up after some hot water spilled all over me 😂
Tybott has tried endlessly and still hasn't successfully done it
that pink pot is really cute
If cheese and cotton candy had a baby
Also reminds me of something that’s popular in turkey
I love how she didn’t give up after she BURNT herself and failed many time
My childhood favorite candy!! Just missing the peanut n sesame filling 😁😁
appreciate the determination!
I shouldn’t be laughing at the hot water but it was so unexpected are you okay girl😭
