Does anyone have the sugar to water ratio for making sugar eggs. I couldn't find my paperwork and I tried to wing it but got the sugar too wet and it wouldn't come out of the mold.

Thanks!!

OK, it is 1 lb caster sugar and 4 - 6 teaspoons cold water. Ratio coming straight from a book.

I use these directions, but omit egg white as the kids around here eat them.

When you make the wet sugar test it by taking about a tablespoon into your hand and squeeze it (make a fist), open your hand and giggle your hand around. If the sugar lump hold together it is fineicon_smile.gif If not it needs a bit more water. If it is *wet!* add more sugar.
I haven't made any in maybe 10 years but look in the grocery for 'superfine' sugar. Does better if you can find it.
