The sugar and oil together will not liquify without adding water. They must have missed that from this recipe.
I tried it again and it worked without water.
If the sugar and oil don’t combine due to being overdone, adding water can save it.
Actually, water could cause the sugar to crystallize. In my experience, it should work fine with just sugar and oil.
