What is an English karaška?
English caramets often please the gourmet, but also evokes a debate about its origin. Tofee of any kind could be made either in hard form, covered with nuts and maybe chocolate, or it could be somewhat soft and chewing. Food historians suggest that both forms of caramel originated at about the same time at the beginning of the 18th century.
Americans are used to considering English caramels as hard, butter candies that can be covered with nuts and chocolate. Alternatively, the English caramel can only be a caramel with chocolate and sprinkles nuts. The first form is easy to find in the popular Almond Roca® candy, but the form of the board is also recognizable and popular.
In England, the English caramet is often served individually. It often has added nuts, but it may not be a hard form for Americans. Instead, it can be sticky and chewing, and what most Americans would call taffy like taffy salt water.
most often ingredities for any of the VAriant is relatively similar. What is different is the cooking time and whether the candies are pulled. Most recipes are a mixture of butter and brown sugar, molasses or corn syrup. The candies are cooked until a certain temperature reaches.
For example, the type of English caramel of the board is usually cooked into the hard crack phase of about 310 F (154.44 ° C). It then poured into a thin layer, preferably on a marble plate. It is allowed to cool almost completely before the chocolate flakes are added and smoothed through the caramel when it melts. The chocolate is added a layer of nuts, usually almonds or walnuts before it solidifies.
This form of English caramel is then cracked into pieces that may vary in size. It will keep it well for several weeks when it is wrapped in reasonably airtight containers from heat sources.
The thickness of the English caramel album can know. Stronger caramel can be prepared to pour candiesTo a smaller pan instead of a marble plate. There is no desired thickness layer.
English caramels similar to Almond Roca® are produced by cutting the caramel to small pieces before completely cooling, cutting into small pieces. The pieces are immersed in chocolate and then nuts. Some recipes also add nuts to a mixture of sugar/butter. The pieces can be packed or when they are fully cooled, they can be wrapped together.
The form of the English caramel album was also inspired by the English Cookie Tofee. This is not technically candy. It is rather a thought layer covered and roasted mixture nuts and then covered with chocolate chips that melt over the caramel. Many consider this to be superlative cookies that offer friends during the holidays.
