Hi guys!
Sorry I
know it’s been a while since my last post, but things have been hectic! I
thought I'd return with a bang showing you some easy and tasty recipes! I hope
I can tempt you to get back in that kitchen and get cooking (and boys that
includes you too!)
I thought
I would start with milk toffee. I made this recently as part of International
Day at work. It was a major hit and everyone that had a taste fell in love with
it! The best part of this recipe is it that you get to lick the saucepan and
spoon afterwards (one of my fondest memories growing up was my brother and I
fighting over who got in first!)
Ingredients
· 2 cans of 395 ml Condensed Milk
· 200 g sugar
· Vanilla essence (teaspoon)
· 25g cashew (roughly chopped)
· 2 tablespoons of water
Method
Find a
flat tray, wrap it in aluminium foil and grease it well. Leave aside.
Add the
sugar to a large saucepan and turn on a low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of water
and stir. Add the condensed milk. Stir for about 15-20 minutes and then add the
cashew and the vanilla essence.
You will
then need to continue to stir until the mixture thickens (this may take a while
but I guarantee you its worth the effort). Bubbles will start forming and the
mixture turns from a pale to a rich deep caramel.
The point
you want to take the mixture of the stove is completely up to you. The longer
you keep it the harder (and more toffee like it becomes), so bear this in mind.
Once the
mixture is to your desired consistency, take it off the stove and pour it onto
the tray we set aside earlier.
Spread
and flatten the mixture using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Leave the mixture to harden and
cool and then cut into small diamond pieces! Tuck in, this one will go fast!
