The taste of childhood - handmade nougat

Overview

Nougat is a candy made from roasted nuts and honey. Authentic nougat has a strong milky flavor and rich nuts, and does not contain any spices, additives, preservatives and other ingredients. It is particularly important to provide relatively safe food for children, so Guo moms still choose to make it themselves. It’s also a good idea to make some nougat yourself during the Chinese New Year, buy some beautiful candy wrappers, and give them as souvenirs.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 grams of pure white marshmallows, 300 grams of milk powder, 50 grams of butter, 50 grams of olive oil, cashew nuts, raw peanuts (you can choose the nuts first according to your preference, of course you can also choose raisins, etc. I am afraid that butter is too high in calories, so I used half of the olive oil. If you don’t mind, you can use all butter).

   

2. 2 Fry the peanut kernels in a wok (if it's too troublesome, you can use cooked peanut kernels instead).

   

3. 3 , let the fried peanuts cool, peel them, mix them with cashews, and use a rolling pin to crush them a little.

   

4. 4 Heat a pan, add butter and olive oil (ratio 1:1)

   

5. 5 Butter is completely melted.

   

6. 6 Add marshmallows and stir constantly.

   

7. 7 After the marshmallows melt, add the milk powder and stir.

   

8. 8 Mix the milk powder and marshmallows thoroughly.

   

9. 9 Add the nuts and stir quickly (if you feel that you can't stir, you can turn on the lowest heat so that the sugar will not solidify quickly).

   

10. 10 Pour the mixed sugar into a non-stick plate, wear disposable gloves with both hands, and knead repeatedly in a kneading manner to better integrate the nuts and sugar (this method allows you to add more nuts).

    

11. 11 While hot, use a rolling pin to roll the sugar to your preferred thickness.

    

12. 12 Let the rolled sugar stand for a while and cut into strips while it is slightly hot (it is easier to cut if it is warm, but it will be more difficult to cut if it is completely cool).

    

13. 13 Put the prepared nougat into a crisper, seal it with honey and store it in the refrigerator. Since there are no preservatives added, you can’t make too much at one time and don’t eat too much.
