All right it ain't.
I may not know what I'm doing, but I put a lot of time and effort into following the recipe / instructions to the letter. I think I'm entitled to get the hump when it all goes wrong! I did exactly what I was told, and ended up with pink glue. If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
Well, for future reference: never, ever add dry cornflour to ANYTHING. Always slake it first (that's posh speak for add a little water to cornflour) and then add to the majority liquid.
I think it can still be rescued, personally, but if you've binned it, it's too late! Well done for trying, anyway.

Mr BE what about marshmallows? They are yummy - just like flumps and very easy to make
Recipe here
(it wants you to use corn syrup but you can use golden syrup instead).
Top kudos for trying Turkish Delight though - you need to try again - dont let the ingrediants beat you
The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:0 -
My tip is always check more than one of the same recipe and compare. You then get a feel for the common factors and can work out the best recipe and method.TL0

Oh, it must be added! I can't have everyone thinking it's all wonderful! :rolleyes:
Anyway, there will be some very successful rum truffles later. If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0 -
