figuurina

Figuurina is a traditional Dutch confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and egg whites, which is then rolled into a thin, flexible sheet. The sheet is then cut into small squares, which are dipped into a mixture of sugar and water to create a glossy, hard candy. The candy is then rolled in powdered sugar to give it a distinctive white coating. Figuurina is typically sold in small, square-shaped packages and is often enjoyed as a sweet treat or used as a decorative element in various desserts and pastries. Its name is derived from the Dutch word "figuur," meaning figure, reflecting its square shape. Figuurina is a popular confectionery in the Netherlands and is often associated with Dutch culture and traditions.
