    This is my experience….if you can get it off the spoon you are using it will make one biscuit ,but if the spoon you use is rubber or plastic….you can’t eat it until you scrape the plastic out of the pan before eating it ….also the metal spoon just got clogged up it probably had an 8th of the mixture stuck like a sugar barnacle…so after 3 attempts , 1lb of sugar 1 melted stirring spoon4 blisters the list is a long one but the bottom line is I scrapped it …..so I’ll have to find another use for my

    Ever since obsessing about the recipe, I’ve grown into a deep depression and am forced to occupy my mind with the impossible expectations of this video. I love you mom, goodbye.

    So did we. Then it stuck to the glass pan. By the time it dried to unstick it, it was too hard to use the cookie cutter.

    Super easy! I made it with my son and he was super excited! To answer some of the questions. I melted the sugar over medium heat and as soon as melted I added the baking soda, mixed it well and poured it. You have to be really quick at making the print once you squish the circle before it gets too hard.

    I made them about 6 times before I finally got it. First keep heat to Ames Low 3 constantly stir sugar and press down on any lumps, once caramelized remove from heat and add a pinch of baking soda while continuing to stir. Drop batter on to paper evenly as possible. Do not press. Next grab shape and gently mark it and remove quickly, wet cookie cutter and press a little deeper but cannot let it sit too long. It’s just one of those things you have to try until you perfect it. The main thing is to

    Yeah it didn't work. I'm guessing to much baking soda because as soon as I put it in and was stirring it. It expanded almost overflowing the pan and burnt the pan. Still trying to get it right
