Delicious facts
– If the inside of the saucepan is dark, the trickle from the spoon will help determine the color of the melted sugar.
– It is important not to overexpose the sugar on the fire and to avoid the smell of burnt sugar.
– If you pour cold milk into melted sugar, it will not dissolve well. If you pour in all the milk at once, a lump will form, which will also be difficult to dissolve.
The salt in this dessert compensates for the sugary sugar.
