Method

In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and heat on medium-high. The mixture needs to heat slowly for about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches 267-268°F, so monitor your heat to adjust as needed
Once it reaches temperature, immediately remove the saucepan from heat and allow to cool to at least 212°F. Transfer to plastic deli container to cool until it turns into a firm disk, or puck shape
Place corn starch on the baking tray or in the large bowl
Release the candy by pressing around the plastic container. Use your thumbs to create a hole in the centre of the candy puck
Coat generously in corn starch and begin forming a donut shape, rotating the disc, and using your hands to stretch it, making sure all sides are even, taking care not to pull too hard
Once the ring is between approximately 12 inches in diameter, twist into a figure 8 shape, fold back on itself and continue stretching and making a uniform ring. Be sure to constantly dust with corn starch to prevent sticking by resting the area you’re not working on in the corn starch prepped tray.
Continue the process for somewhere between 10-12 loops/ folds To serve: Using a pair of chop sticks, wrap the dragon beard candy around to create small bushels, snip to size with an oiled scissors and serve to enjoy! Note: Best served immediately. Dragon's beard candy has a very short shelf life. It is highly sensitive to moisture and tends to melt when exposed to higher temperatures, notably during warm weather.
