If you don’t have time to prepare complex desserts at home or if you don’t have the necessary skills, you can at least learn how to make sweets, lollipops and fudge yourself. in a simple way. To do this, you need to know only one thing - how to cook sugar with water or milk. Having studied technological features process, it is allowed to complicate basic recipes, introduce new ingredients to enhance the taste.

To make the final product rich and tasty, it is better to use the most common white sugar. Contrary to popular belief, its brown counterpart does not have any advantages and even slightly worsens the consistency of products.

Rules for making sweets based on sugar and milk

The recipes are really very simple, but only if the prescribed dosages are observed, the sweets will turn out really tasty. We always take the components based on the following proportions: for three glasses of sugar there is at least a glass of full-fat milk and about a tablespoon butter high degree of fat content. It is allowed to add nuts, pieces of marmalade, seed kernels, candied fruits, chopped dried fruits.

To cook classic milk sweets, you need to perform the following manipulations:

• In the selected container, combine the milk with sugar, lastly add the butter, and mix everything thoroughly.
• We put the container on medium heat. Constantly stirring the mass, bring it to a boil.
• We reduce the fire to a minimum and continue to stir the composition in milk, waiting for it to begin to thicken.
• We check the readiness of the semi-finished product. We drip a little of the mixture from which we will form sweets on a saucer. If the mass spreads, it still needs to be boiled. If it immediately seizes and freezes, you can proceed to the next step.

Tip: At home, sugar is boiled exclusively in containers with non-stick coating. If you use low-quality dishes, the risk of getting regular burnt sugar increases dramatically.

• The product is laid out in pre-prepared molds. It is advisable to use silicone products, but they must first be lubricated with oil from the inside. We pour the product quickly, because it will literally harden before our eyes.

We place the blanks in the refrigerator and wait several hours until they completely solidify. If you plan to put in candy additional components, then it is best to add them immediately before filling the molds.

How to make delicious candies from sugar and water?

If you use only sugar and water in the cooking process, you can cook delicious lollipops. Caramel will turn out smooth, rich and not very sugary, if in this case you use classical proportions- For 1 part of sugar we take 3 parts of water.

The procedure involves the sequential execution of the following manipulations:

• We combine sugar and water, put on fire, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Reduce the heat and simmer the composition at a minimum temperature, constantly kneading, until it begins to thicken.
• Next, we carry out a test with a saucer and act according to the situation.
• We pour the finished semi-finished product into special molds that do not need pre-lubrication. We are waiting for the mass to thicken completely.

Some housewives try to add lemon or Orange juice. The taste really benefits from this, but the output is not so much lollipops, but jelly Bean. They don't hold their shape very well and stretch.

Milk fudge secrets

Such sweets are no longer boiled in milk, it is better to cook them in thick and fatty sour cream. And if you want to diversify classic version dessert, then it is recommended to add a little cocoa powder to the mass (but not ready-made chocolate).

The manipulation looks like this:

• For 400 g of sugar we take 150 g fat sour cream and two tablespoons of butter. If the sour cream has given liquid, you do not need to pour it out, just mix the composition. If it is decided to add cocoa, then we introduce no more than a tablespoon of pre-sifted powder into the indicated volume of ingredients. You can add some nuts or seeds. But it is better to refuse dried fruits, the taste of ready-made sweets will be saturated even without them.
• All components except butter and cocoa are combined, kneaded and laid out in a suitable, preheated dish. We put the mass on the fire and keep it, stirring constantly, until it boils.
• Reduce the heat and simmer the product for at least half an hour, stirring regularly. You should not wait longer, because. the sugar can curdle and become too thick.
• If everything was done correctly, then the product will get a beautiful caramel color, its consistency will be homogeneous, without lumps and bubbles.
• Now add cocoa to the hot mass, stir. Add butter, it should melt on a hot surface. Once again, mix well.
• Pour the workpiece into molds pre-treated with butter. We put in a cool place away from the sun, but not in the refrigerator. Properly prepared fudge will grab without low temperatures. But from sudden drops, sweets can begin to crumble.

If a taste properties the above desserts are not satisfactory, there is nothing to be done about it, you will have to look for other options for dishes. If you try to adjust the amounts of ingredients used, you can spoil the consistency and texture of the product.
