Ingredients

  • 200 gram Isomalt
  • 5 dashes Lemon Oil
  • 2 dashes Fruit color yellow
  • 50 gram Powdered Sugar to coat the candies in.
  • Oil flavor neutral - to grease the scissors.

Instructions

  • For the recipe, you need a pair of scissors, a pair of thin disposable gloves, and a silicone mat. Make sure to have the tools ready before you start, as it is much easier than having to find them when you need them.
  • Put the isomalt in a pot and melt it until completely liquid.
  • Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Put on the disposable gloves and pour the mixture onto the silicone mat. Let it rest for 3 minutes.
  • Drip lemon oil and yellow food coloring in the center of the caramel mixture.
  • If necessary, let the mixture rest a little until a "skin" forms around the edge.
  • Fold the edges of the silicone mat alternately towards the center and out again, so the candy mixture blends into a uniform clump that forms a "skin" again.
  • Repeat the process a few more times.
  • When the sugar mixture has cooled enough so you can start touching it, "pull" the mixture into a long sausage, which is then folded in the middle.
  • Repeat the process until the candy mixture begins to set; it should not harden completely, as it still needs to be possible to cut it into candies.
  • Pull the candy mixture into a long, thin sausage about 2 cm in diameter.
  • Immediately cut small candies into uniform, slanted pieces.
  • Pour powdered sugar into a deep plate. 
  • Coat the lemon candies in powdered sugar. Make sure they are covered on all sides; otherwise, they will stick together. 
  • Let the lemon candies cool completely at room temperature.
  • Store your candies in an airtight container, such as a jar with a patent lid or another jar with a lid.
