[TheCraphater]

[jyotsnarajiv]

[BakerFlavors]

@jyotsnarajiv The syrup has to cool just a little. Then you can add the baking soda.

How can I substitude citric acid instead? Or is there anyway to substitude the ingredients to make corn syrup. Please answer me asap cause I need used corn syrup in a science experiments to show some childrens. thanks in advance.

[BakerFlavors]

@logginon97 Hello!

Citric acid can't be substitued in this recipe, because it decomposes sugar to fructose and glucose.

[logginon97]

@BakerFlavors If I can't get any citric acid, what cna I used that can be found in market?

[logginon97]

@BakerFlavors Then what can I use to substitute Citric Acid? Can I use crystalized vitamin that contain citric acid too or is there any other recipe can make corn syup? Thanks

[sameer3dgen]

@logginon97 Of course you can substitute citric acid. You can use 4tbsp Lemon Juice to substitute 1tsp of Citric acid.

[atchoouumXD]

can i use this to make fondant?

[mairella]

I tried to do just how you said in the video and the sugar turned brown and burned, i tried 2 times and the same thing happend after 10 minutes of boil., are yoy sure its not less than 40 minutes?and i used lemon salt instead of citric acid but they say its the same thing. what do you think i did wrong?

[BakerFlavors]

@mairella

To avoid burning and turning brown you should use a pan with thin bottom and boil on a very(!) low heat 40 minutes. If the "lemon salt" is crystallized citric acid, this is the right stuff.

@mairella

I just made my corn syrup, and i let it boil for 12 minutes in a pan with a thick bottom and on low flame. It came out perfect. This is my 3rd time, the 2 first was a disaster!!

[dana1234500]

can i use lemon juice instead of citric acid??

[tonylogon]

Can we use liquid citric acid ?

[BakerFlavors]

@tonylogon

Ofcourse, you can use liquid citric acid.

[rlakshmanan100]

Thank You so much !! I could exactly make the syrup in India. I used pressure cooker without lid, to boil the syrup.I picked up citric acid and baking soda from Nilgiris, Bangalore. This helped me to prepare french fries ..much to the taste of McDonalds.

Thank you ..once again for posting this !!

[ninaypanget]

how much is citric acid ?

[158mumu]

Must I use citric acid??

[FlypaperGirl]

@hettie12345 add lemon juice, or viniger - work as good

[madmaniacks]

Me neither and please check out ids

[vniechoo]

So can it use for chocolate molding? Really need to know because I can't find corn syrup in my country

[BakerFlavors]

Hi. Due to boiling this syrup you need carefully watch for very slow heat. It can be easily overcooked and burnt. Also the important thing is that you have to use bowl with a thick bottom. 40-45 minutes is not a mistake and we made it 100 times already. Trust us - it works well. Just little patience and be careful. Of course you can use candy thermometer. It can prevent from overheating, so you will be able to control it well. You can see it on video: when we add baking soda the syrup is liquid.

[libraryzsu]

Hi! Does it works for making molding chocolate? I've already had to throw away 2 sets of these, first, it burned after 10 minutes on slow fire (45??? really???) and the 2nd time when I put the baking soda into into it, it became rock hard. So before I try it again, I'd like to know if it even can be used for that. And I still have to find out what I do wrong. Hell, the price of the sugar is like the double ever since the crisis in North Africa.

[FlypaperGirl]

@libraryzsu overheating - you made caramel - so it became hard- either cook it less or add more water

[leannecamille21]

@libraryzsu it didnt work did you use vineger or lemon juice instead of citric acid cuz i use vinegarand it worked great

[libraryzsu]

@leannecamille21 I used citric acid. Guess I just simple overboiled it. I tried it after again and it worked well, so it's ok. Thanks.

[aatika8376]

is it ok if we skip the citric acid? pls tell me

[BakerFlavors]

@aatika8376

Without citric acid will not work.

[treyguy09]

actually do the same with cream of tartar

1. pour white sugar just enough to cover the bottom of any pan

2. pour water enough to the sugar wet. a little excess is fine but itll take a bit longer

3. put in a pinch of cream of tartar and a dash of salt

bring the ingredients to a rapid boil then cover with a top for about three minutes .

after three minutes take top of and bring down heat and cook till soft ball stage or till when you put a drop in cold water it visibly hardens

[TheMudstone]

it may work for fake blood. i would use a simple syrup cooked down for a very long time to thicken it. then just add food coloring

[TheMudstone]

@hettie12345 

[TheMudstone]

this is not corn syrup. it will not react the same way as corn syrup while cooking. This is worthless.

[KarpatycGhost]

@TheMudstone can u still use it to make fake blood out of it????

[bowow0807]

hey can you post the corn syrup recipe that uses salt and cream of tartar in it?

[Juiceeguy]

[rearpad]

have you heard of wooden spoon?

anf besides it lasts longer since none of it's ingredient have that kind of stuff in it...

[specnaz157]

ti skazala 4 do 5 minuta ili 45 minuta?

[greenwichwitch]

how long does the syrup last

in fridge or cupboard

[BakerFlavors]

It is not necessary to store syrup in refrigerator. You can store it in tightly sealed glass container up to 2 months.

[greenwichwitch]

brilliant this has helped me a lot as we can't get this in the uk

thank you for sharing

[dog91107]

wer do u get citric acid?

[BakerFlavors]

Crystallized citric acid you can get in supermarket.

[dog91107]

thanx

[greenwichwitch]

chemist or supermarket

[glishicaworld]

Ok , i already made corn syrup using your recipe , i hope it works.

[BakerFlavors]

We will be waiting news from you soon.

[glishicaworld]

Can i make sugar glass using this corn syrup?

[BakerFlavors]

Honestly, we have never tried to make sugar glass with this syrup. You can try. It will be interesting to know the result.

[ryanvillar00]

can i use this in making the candy coating for candy apples?

[BakerFlavors]

Of course you can. You can use this substitute in all recipes, where corn syrup is mentioned. Basically corn syrup is used because of it's anticrystallizing properties. Our proposed substitute has same characteristics.

[IvanFlying]

Quite simply!

[LoScorp]

Best recipe of preparing corn syrup. Very simple. thanks a lot ^_^
