How to cook milk sugar: a recipe
Boiled milk sugar is a dessert that is well remembered by the generation of the 70s-80s of the XX century. And it is they who strive to remind about such a delicacy of modern youth, spoiled by newfangled sweets.
To prepare such a delicacy, you need a minimum of products:
- 3 cup sugar
- 1 glass of milk
- 1 Art. l. butter
- nuts, raisins as an addition
These proportions are not final. You can take any number of components, the main thing is that the proportion of milk and sugar is 1: 3
Place all food in a container – a non-stick saucepan or skillet. Put on fire and bring to a boil. Then be sure to reduce the heat and continue to cook until tender. Do not forget that during the process it is necessary to stir the sugar continuously so that it does not burn.
The degree of doneness of sugar is determined by a fairly simple test. Dip a spoon into the mass and drop a drop of dessert from it onto the table surface. If the shape of the drop remains, then it is ready. If the drop has spread, cook
Prepare the mold, it must first be greased with oil so that the candies do not stick. It is best to choose silicone molds, from which it is easier to get milk sugar. Pour the mass into the molds and leave until completely solidified. Perform all the manipulations quickly, because the sugar begins to freeze almost instantly.
If you will be using raisins or nuts as an addition, add them during the boil phase. Better at the very end so that they are not overcooked and softened.
How to cook milk sugar for sweets
Naturally, sugar and milk fudge must be cooked in a slightly different way, since as a result, the mass should be viscous and spread well over the surface.
For its preparation you will need:
- heavy cream (33%) – 300 ml
- sugar – 2,5 cups
- honey – 1 tbsp. l.
- butter – 50 g
Pour cream into a saucepan and add sugar to them, mix well. Then put on the stove, light the fire and stir well again. Reduce heat and bring mixture to a boil. Add honey and cook for another 20 minutes. Then pour the mixture into a greased container and cool slightly. Cut with a knife in a shape convenient for you. You can even make a whole layer. Place the cut out on the cake and heat the edges slightly, they will settle and cover the baked goods tightly.
Alternatively, you can cool the milk-sugar fondant in the form of various figurines that can be used to decorate a cake or pastry.
