Ingredients

7 oz granulated sugar

1 whole egg plus 4 egg yolks, beaten lightly together

3 fl oz water

Directions

Boil the sugar and water until thickish.

Reduce the heat but keep the syrup at boiling point.

Drop half the egg mixture into the syrup through the funnel, rotating it to form the threads and allowing them to cook for a couple of minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a damp plate. Repeat the procedure with the remaining eggs, after adding a drop of water to the syrup to prevent becoming too hard.

Separate the cooked threads with the help of 2 forks so that they do not remain stuck together. Use the same day you cook these.
