did you ever burn the sugar?
at what point do you stop the carmalization?
do you transfer the pasta to the sugar or sugar to the pasta?
ever? Way back ... Don't jinx it ... My 14yr old is a pro at this.
Trick is not to start it all at once.
caramelize a pound or two and keep adding ..... It caramelizes almost instantly .
we sometimes don't in two pots to keep the big pot clean for the kugel.
We get a deep brown caramel color.
We use the dry method as opposed to the wet method since it's significantly faster.
It may seem like it just not happening but keep mixing. Once it starts it will happen very quickly. Also be careful not to splash. It's much hotter than boiling water.
I mix the eggs into the pasta first so we don't end up with scrambled eggs
