Okay, I'm just going to put it out there; my brother and me have been trying to make dragon's beard over the last week. But 4 attempts later, we still struggle with getting the right consistency of sugar dough. Somehow, our sugar dough always ends up too hard, that becomes flexible when heated but solidifies quickly after cooling down. We already tried many different approaches: less vinegar, more vinegar, cooking faster, cooking slower, it doesn't seem to matter much. Anyone any idea what we're doing wrong? I highly doubt the temperature gets too high btw, as we have a digital thermometer that works well and we always kill the heat on or just before hitting 132 degrees Celsius

When I worked in kitchens I have probably made sugar water thousands of times. I mixed it, stirred it, added more sugar or water regularly, and never once has it crystallized. I am starting to think it is just some kitchen trick they tell the new guys in the kitchen to mess with them, but now the world just believes.

1. You should use something of a tapered dowel to punch a hole. Makes it easier2. Is a bit harder to succeed but try it warmer so it doesnt take forever and the dowel can go through quickly3. If you make it warmer dont hesitate on the corn starch! In fact use it liberally

How do you know there are over 16000 strands of sugar. Do you count them or average the weight per strand to total weight which would give you a rough estimate

If some one gave you a penny, then doubled what they gave you every day, on the 30th day you'd be given 5, 368, 709. 12 with a total of 10, 737, 418. 23 given
