Dragon Whiskers 龙须糖
龙须糖 is a candy that children or adults must try! :)
The candy is made by boiling partially solidified sugar or a plain saturated and maltose solution until it just reaches the stage and then leaving it to chill. The resulting solid, which is elastic, is formed into a torus and then repeatedly pulling and folded over, tripling the number of strands after each repetition. While the candy is being folded it is kept covered in toasted glutinous flour, in order to keep the strands from sticking together.
The finished beard is cut up into small pieces and usually then wrapped around crushed peanuts.
The candy is better and fresher to be eaten immediately.
