Measure all the ingredients and grease a tray or silicone mold with a little butter or ghee. Afterwards, keep everything ready for quick cooking.
2. Heat the Sugar Mixture
In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and glucose syrup. Stir continuously over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
