Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

  1. 1

    Thoroughly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with the softened butter and set it aside.

    Około 2 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Lining the pan with parchment paper after greasing can make it easier to lift the candy out later.

  2. 2

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, water, salt, and the butter designated for the candy.

    Około 3 min

  3. 3

    Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the sugar has completely dissolved.

    Około 5 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Make sure no sugar crystals are stuck to the side of the pan to prevent crystallization.

  4. 4

    Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring the tip is submerged in the mixture but not touching the bottom.

    Około 1 min

  5. 5

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

    Około 2 min

  6. 6

    Continue cooking, monitoring the temperature closely, until the thermometer reaches the hard-ball stage, 260°F (127°C).

    Około 10 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: This stage is crucial for the final texture, so do not rush it or leave the pan unattended.

  7. 7

    Immediately remove the pan from the heat once it reaches the target temperature.

  8. 8

    Carefully stir in the baking soda; the mixture will foam up.

    Około 1 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Work quickly in the next steps as the candy will begin to set.

  9. 9

    Add the chopped pecans and stir vigorously for about one minute until they are evenly incorporated.

    Około 1 min

  10. 10

    Quickly pour the hot candy mixture into your prepared baking pan.

    Około 1 min

  11. 11

    Use a spatula to spread the mixture into an even layer before it starts to harden.

    Około 1 min

  12. 12

    Let the candy cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch.

    Około 2 godz.

    Wskazówka kucharza: Do not refrigerate to cool, as this can affect the texture.

  13. 13

    Once fully cooled and firm, turn the slab of candy out onto a cutting board and use a large, sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces.

    Około 5 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: If the candy is difficult to cut, you can lightly score the top when it's partially set.
