Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Uns 2 min

  2. 2

    In a large, microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, water, and salt. Stir until the sugar is moistened.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: Use a bowl at least 2 quarts (8 cups) in size, as the mixture will bubble up significantly during cooking.

  3. 3

    Microwave the syrup mixture on high power for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl and stir well.

    Uns 5 min

  4. 4

    Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for another 5 minutes on high. Stir again.

    Uns 5 min

  5. 5

    Continue cooking in 1-2 minute intervals, checking the temperature with a candy thermometer after each interval, until the syrup reaches 260°F (127°C), the hard-ball stage.

    Uns 5 min

    Nota de cuina: Be extremely careful as the syrup is dangerously hot. Total cooking time will vary from 12-18 minutes depending on your microwave's power.

  6. 6

    While the syrup is in its final cooking phase, beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

    Uns 3 min

    Nota de cuina: For best results, make divinity on a dry, low-humidity day, as moisture in the air can prevent it from setting properly.

  7. 7

    Turn the mixer to low speed. Very slowly and carefully, pour the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream down the side of the bowl into the beaten egg whites.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: Avoid pouring the syrup directly onto the beaters, as this can cause it to splash or harden instantly.

  8. 8

    Add the vanilla extract. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to beat until the mixture becomes thick, loses its glossy sheen, and starts to hold its shape.

    Uns 6 min

    Nota de cuina: This can take 5-8 minutes. The candy is ready when a spoonful dropped back into the bowl holds its form.

  9. 9

    Quickly fold in the chopped pecans, if using.

    Uns 1 min

  10. 10

    Working quickly before the candy sets, drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheets.

    Uns 4 min

    Nota de cuina: Use two spoons: one to scoop the mixture and the other to push it off onto the paper.

  11. 11

    Let the divinity stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm and dry to the touch.
