Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Thoroughly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with the softened butter and set it aside.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Lining the pan with parchment paper after greasing can make it easier to lift the candy out later.
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.
Približno 3 min
3
Place the pan over medium heat and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Make sure no sugar crystals are stuck to the side of the pan to prevent crystallization.
4
Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring the tip is submerged in the mixture but not touching the bottom.
Približno 1 min
5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly to maintain a steady boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Približno 2 min
6
Continue cooking, monitoring the temperature closely, until the thermometer reaches the hard-ball stage, 260°F (127°C).
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: This stage is crucial for the final texture, so do not rush it or leave the pan unattended.
7
Immediately remove the pan from the heat once it reaches the target temperature.
8
Carefully stir in the baking soda; the mixture will foam up.
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Work quickly in the next steps as the candy will begin to set.
9
Add the chopped pecans and stir vigorously for about one minute until they are evenly incorporated.
Približno 1 min
10
Quickly pour the hot candy mixture into your prepared baking pan.
Približno 1 min
11
Use a spatula to spread the mixture into an even layer before it starts to harden.
Približno 1 min
12
Let the candy cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm to the touch.
Približno 2 h
Kuharjeva opomba: Do not refrigerate to cool, as this can affect the texture.
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.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: If the candy is difficult to cut, you can lightly score the top when it's partially set.
