Cinnamon-Pumpkin Isomalt Candies Recipe
- 1 cup isomalt
- 1/4 cup pumpkinseed oil
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon oil
- Gold leaf
- Finishing salt
- In a small, shallow saucepan, heat the isomalt to 260u0b0F. Stir occasionally, so that all the isomalt crystals are melted and the syrup is uniform.
- Meanwhile, whisk the pumkinseed oil and the cinnamon oil together in a small bowl.
- Using a measuring spoon, gather 1 tsp of oil. Keep the teaspoon filled with oil in one hand and pick up a 3/4" round cutter in the other. Dip the cutting edge of the cutter into the heated isomalt syrup until a membrane forms at the bottom. Working quickly, drop the teaspoon of oil through the cutter down onto the membrane. It should bulge down under the cutter, forming a small, round candy. Quickly snip the top of the candy an inch or so above the oil pocket.
- Set the candy on a silicone baking mat and repeat to form many small candies.
- Place a leaf of gold on the top of the candies, and dip in salt to serve.
- In my experience, these candies do not keep well, so serve within an hour of making them. Your best bet for storing them is in a cool, dry airtight container, but immediate use is preferred.
