Instructions:

• Place 500g of isomalt into a saucepan. Stir continuously over a low heat until the isomalt has melted
• Bring the isomalt to boiling point and then add 60g of SK Liquid Glucose. Continue to heat the solution until it reaches 180°C
• Carefully remove from the heat and immerse the base in cold water to halt the cooking process
• Pour the isomalt over a lightly oiled marbled slad and allow to set. When the isomalt has cooled, break into pieces and store in an airtight container
• To use the isomalt, place one of the pieces under a 250 watt infrared lamp until soft and pliable. At this stage the isomalt can be pulled, shaped or blown in the same way as sugar
• To make isomalt centres for biscuits, pour the tempered isomalt on the baking tray inside the shape and bake the biscuits as normal
