   Meanwhile, add a small amount of water to 75g of the cornflour to make a thick paste. To soften and dissolve the gelatine, combine with about 3/4 cup of hot water. (Or, follow instructions on gelatine packet)

   Remove syrup from heat and add cornflour paste, whisking to ensure there are no lumps. Stir in gelatine and add Rosewater Essence. Return syrup to the boil for a further 2-3 minutes.Pour into the prepared tray and set aside for 3/4 hours to cool.

5. 5

   Turn the Turkish Delight out of the tin and use a warm, wetted knife to cut into cubes. Combine the remaining cornflour with the icing sugar. Roll each cube in the icing sugar mixture to lightly coat and store in an airtight container for up to 14 days.
