Black sesame peanut candy
Required materials: 350g black sesame, chopped flowers 100g, sugar 150g, 25g drinking water, cotton candy 100g and 30g butter.
1. Pour black sesame seeds and peanuts into a bowl and stir well, then put them into the oven and heat them up and down 80 degrees. I use cooked peanuts and black sesame seeds here. If you eat it raw, you need to fry it in advance.
2. Then pour butter, sugar, mash and drinking water into the pot and heat it with low heat. At the beginning of heating, you can stir it with a spoon a few times. When the pot begins to bubble, it is necessary to stop stirring, because stirring after bubbling is easy to reverse sand.
When the pot begins to bubble, you need to turn to medium heat to boil the syrup. The picture below shows boiling for about 4 minutes. At this time, all aspects of the pot are bubbling, but the syrup is still white and needs to be boiled.
4. The syrup boiled in the pot is caramel color, and then turn off the fire. As shown in the following figure
At this time, we take a spoon, take a proper amount of syrup and put it in cold water. If the syrup on the spoon is crisp after cooling, it means it is cooked. On the other hand, if it is a little sticky, you need to continue cooking with high fire.
6. Pour the chopped black sesame seeds and peanuts kept warm in the oven into the syrup pot and stir quickly and evenly. When a novice does it for the first time, the amount of black sesame seeds can be reduced appropriately, which is more conducive to your plastic surgery.
7. Pour the mixed ingredients into a non-stick baking tray and scrape them flat with a rolling pin and scraper. Black sesame peanut candy must be compacted when shaping, otherwise it will spread easily when cutting.
8. Cut the black sesame peanut candy when it is still warm, otherwise it will be difficult to cut it after it is completely hardened. If you have a serrated knife at home, it is recommended to cut it with a serrated knife, and the effect will be better. Black sesame peanut candy is crisp and delicious, and it doesn't stick to teeth. It is not difficult to do so. Come and have a try!
Several key points of making black sesame peanut candy;
1. When boiling syrup, you can only stir it at the initial stage of heating. When there are signs of bubbles in the pot, the stirring should be stopped immediately, and it can't be stirred again in the subsequent cooking process, because it will cause the syrup to turn to sand.
2. If you have walnuts or Batam at home, you can add some to enrich the taste, but you must ensure that the total amount of auxiliary materials does not exceed 450 grams, otherwise there will be too much syrup.
3. The rice paste is corn syrup. Rice paste can also be replaced by maltose, but maltose is sweeter than rice paste, so it will be sweeter. It depends on your personal choice here.
4, the last step of plastic surgery, the speed should be fast, because the weather is relatively cold now, and the black sesame peanut candy will soon become hard after being exposed to cold air for a long time.
5. The prepared peanut candy needs to be sealed for 1 month.
Black sesame peanut candy learns to do this. Crispy and non-sticky, with no loss of taste.
