Method

1. Put the sugar in a nonstick skillet with water and lemon; cook until it takes on a light amber color.
2. Grease a tray lightly with oil and pour the sugar mixture onto it.
3. Let it cool slightly, then with your hands stretch and thin the mixture and roll it into a ring shape.
4. In a pan, melt the butter, then turn off the heat and add the flour and stir.
5. Dip the sugar ring in the flour-and-butter mixture, then with your hands stretch the sugar ring to thin it and roll it again into a ring. Repeat this process several times to obtain cotton candy.
