making pancakes?sugar, water and lemon juice
Glucose keeps the mix pliable. Otherwise it can crack.Is there a recipe for sugar, water and lemon juice? what is the benefit of adding glucose?
And me ... I rarely need fondant but any sort of quantity and it has to be more sense to buy ready made ... unless you want ORGANIC fondant like Curly Green Fingers ...Glucose keeps the mix pliable. Otherwise it can crack.
But it is all very messy. I gave up.
Nowt wrong with making your own “don’t listen to the nay sayer”And me ... I rarely need fondant but any sort of quantity and it has to be more sense to buy ready made ... unless you want ORGANIC fondant like Curly Green Fingers ...
A post from someone who, elsewhere, is asking for a recipe and presumably (unlike me) has never made any fondant himself ?Nowt wrong with making your own “don’t listen to the nay sayer”
Commercially fondant is made by adding water to fine sugar and glucose powder.No heat. I suppose you could put granulated through a blenderGet it wrong and you end up with a rock hard block of sugar or a gloopy mess.
not really any use for queen rearing thoughSugar cakes are easy to make and the bees like them just as much.
No it’s not I’ve only got 3 10kg bags but that amount would go a long way feeding mini nucs ( apideas / kielersnot really any use for queen rearing though

Home made fondant is made with sucrose, having a large crystal. You add either glucose syrup or glucose sugar which has a small crystal to keep it soft.Glucose is sugar. I guess you mean glycerine which makes it soft and sticky, or perhaps glucose syrup.
Good luck if you have 30Kg to put through your Kenwood !! It would probably be the last thing it was used for !!!Commercially fondant is made by adding water to fine sugar and glucose powder.No heat. I suppose you could put granulated through a blender
Kitchen blender wouldn’t do itGood luck if you have 30Kg to put through your Kenwood !! It would probably be the last thing it was used for !!!
Blimey ... that's a few bob. We are still using a Kenwood Food Processor bought for us as a wedding present in 1972 ! Still going strong. Like this one. Will still reduce granulated to icing sugar - bnt sure it would do 39Kg though !Kitchen blender wouldn’t do it
