Before I give you the recipe hither are my tips

Hither are some of my tips based on the questions I have received from you lot all.

Making edible sugar lace. — Bootleg Edible Saccharide Lace Recipe, edible lace without gelatin, eggless lace, vegetarian lace

When you add the tylose to the boiling water information technology volition exist very lumpy. Similar this beneath.

So, let it sit for a few minutes (mine takes most 10 mins actually) until it becomes nigh transparent. Like this. See no lumps of white powder in it. Right?

Side by side, I sift all the remaining dry ingredients together and then add them to it.

Lastly, add the corn syrup and your mixture should look like this. No lump!!!
(if your mixture is lumpy the lace will non spread evenly) This is, of course, a bit thick, simply I do not add any water just withal.

Consistency

First, I take the amount I need into a divide bowl. So, I add the color needed. And, if you demand white you volition also need to add white colour. As you can see the color above is non really white; more opaque.

In one case the color is mixed in - I add a few drops of h2o as needed to make it to spreading consistency.
Remember, you demand it to spread evenly just at the aforementioned time you demand it to be potent and dry out fast - Then easy with the h2o.

Likewise much water will brand the lace weak which will tear more easily.

How to use edible sugar lace

Just use a spatula and apply information technology to a clean dry mat. Remove whatsoever excess. You tin can air dry information technology overnight until the lace releases itself from the mat.

Personally, I place it in the oven at 60 C for almost 10 to 15 mins and that expedites the process likewise. Simply you have to exist careful if you leave it longer or at a high temperature, the lace volition become too brittle.

Types of lace mats to utilize

Brand certain the lace mats you use are similar to these. There are some thick lace mats like I mention in the video. Lace mats are usually very sparse and barely need any mixture to create lace. The ones for fondant a thicker and deeper.

These beneath are similar possibly non same as seen in the video (kinda difficult to observe the verbal sometimes) But I love these and they work really beautifully with this mixture.

Storage

Keep information technology wrapped individually in between parchment or greaseproof paper in a cardboard box.
If you keep it out it does become brittle and breaks hands. But if y'all desire to make standalone butterflies - just permit them sit a few hours on the old open and they volition set.

So Finally - hither is the recipe by Dawn Edwards I found on block cardinal.

Step past step instructions

The original RECIPE past Dawn Edwards has meringue powder - if you desire yous can add ¼ teaspoon of meringue pulverization but I have tried information technology without as y'all can see in the videos and it works perfectly fine.

Add Tylose to boiling water and with a modest fork mix until you get a clear mixture.
When the mix is clear, add confectioner sugar and cornstarch - mix again.
Then add your corn syrup.
Add together white edible color - mix well.
This mix can exist kept in the refrigerator for a week. To work with it go out it at room temperature.
Once you take made the lace, you tin store it between parchment paper in a cardboard box.
To employ - just spread lace equally thin equally possible in the lace mats - sentry the video if you working on lace for the offset fourth dimension.
Place in the oven at 60 C/ 110 F for ten to 15 minutes or air dry out overnight depending on the humidity level.
Every bit soon equally it leaves the sides and looks dry - y'all can test from the corner get-go.

You tin can double this recipe successfully. I have used it very successfully making almost iii times this amount. Information technology works really well and the lace has a long shelf life. I accept some kept over a few months and they are still soft and gorgeous.
