Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Melt butter in a large pot, add flour, and roast slowly on low heat until fragrant, then let it cool completely.
- Boil sugar and water in another pot to a hard-ball stage, spread on a cold surface, and pull into a large ring.
- Place the sugar ring over the roasted flour. Several people repeatedly pull and fold the ring into a figure-eight dozens of times. Once the sugar absorbs the flour and forms hair-like fine threads, roll into bite-sized pieces to finish.
