This is the melon seed candy that I want to make. A thin slice, only the thickness of a seed or a half seed.
Spread out the melon seeds mixed with syrup as much as possible and roll them out flat, it will have a thin body shape. However, the problem is also here, the larger the body surface area, the faster the heat dissipation. This thin slice of melon seed sugar will cool down quickly in this temperature. This means that it must be shaped and cut into pieces before it cools, otherwise, there will be no regular square shape, and a lot of debris will be cut out.
It just happened to have such a cutting board, no matter how many, I'm afraid I will be at a loss. The effect is quite satisfactory, very crisp. . .
