What each ingredient does

Sugar
Provides sweetness and bulk, forming the body of the mixture.
Glucose
Helps prevent sugar from crystallising, keeping the mixture smooth and soft.

The step that matters

Beating until light. Beating whips air into the mixture, which makes it lighter and more aerated. Beat for the full time or until light, since speed varies with the beater, and stop once the texture is light rather than continuing past that point.
