Persian/Iranian Pashmak
 

Hi All -
I posted this request to rec.food.recipes, but am not optimistic, so
thought I'd double my odds of finding it by posting it here.
A visitor to my website is in search of a recipe for Pashmak - a
Persian or Iranian version of cotton candy (or "fairy floss"). It
comes in many flavors, such as sesame, saffron, rose, pistachio and
chocolate. I know he'd be delighted to receive any one of them.
Many thanks!
- Chris

No recipe in my Persian cookbook. If it is like candy floss, it would
need the special machine to spin the melted sugar. Perhaps it isn't done
at home normally?

Go on eBay and you'll find many cotton candy machines,
of many makes and sizes.

Yes... I've tried to use one of the home versions during church fetes.
Didn't work worth the electricity it took to run it.
It's not something most people make at home.
