Recipes in Comparison: The Processing Of Sugar - HotmixPRO

Toffee apple

Last week we spoke about the technique of caramelization, focusing on the difficulties of this preparation.
Many people know that everything starts from a very common ingredient, sugar, but few of them are aware of the difficulties and unpredictability of this process.

The perfect success of this preparation depends on a combination of elements that need to be constantly in balance.
This balance is uncertain and very exposed to errors.

By using the most appropriate equipments you may solve your problems both during and at the end of these kind of preparations.

So today we will show you the same recipe, but prepared in two different ways: TRADITION vs. HOTMIXPRO.

You will judge which of the two methods can easily ensure the result you really want.

Caramel sauce and salty butter

So now, we compare the delicious recipe of “caramel sauce and salty butter“, excellent with warm crepes, macarons, chocolate tarte or toasted hazelnuts.

Here are the preparations!

TRADITIONAL RECIPE

Ingredients:
• Sugar: 100 gr
• Cream: 250 ml
• Salty butter: 40 gr

Method:

Let the butter soften.
Add evenly the sugar and cook over medium heat until it becomes golden.

Pay close attention not to extend too much cooking, or there will be an excessive browning!!
In case you can not avoid this, slightly reduce the intensity of the fire.

Do not mix sugar or you will cause the formation of lumps, very difficult to eliminate.
Meanwhile heat the cream in another saucepan.

As soon as your sugar is converted into caramel (hoping without lumps), slowly add hot cream and stir quickly.

Then cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, continuing to stir constantly.
Now remove everything from the fire and add the softened butter, stirring until absorbed.

Once cool, store the caramel sauce and salty butter inside some glass jars in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

HOTMIXPRO RECIPE

• Sugar: 500 gr

Kinda difficult, isn’t it?!
