How to make
What you need:
Fork with long teeth;
Large lightly greased ladle;
Long metal round handle;
Large piece of baking paper.
How to prepare:
In a suitable saucepan pour the sugar, place it on moderate heat to melt. When the bottom layer begins to melt, stir with a spatula to allow the sugar to melt properly. Dark caramel is made.
When ready, remove it from the heat and allow it to thicken for 1 to 2 minutes. The hob is left on the lowest level, so that the caramel can be put back on briefly for a while to soften, because it hardens over time.
Pour a little oil on household paper and lightly grease the ladle, as well as the metal tube.
With a fork with long teeth, scoop out the sugar, pull it out and pass it randomly around the back of the ladle to form the so-called nest / basket. Leave it to harden and then peel it off very lightly. Leave it to harden completely onto baking paper.
By dipping the fork, the sugar is drawn again and twist it only on the upper side of the metal tube, by holding it high in order for the sugar to fall down like hair and the corresponding threads to be obtained for the so-called angel hair.
After making the hair to the desired density, the sugar is cut with scissors. It is very carefully collected with the palms to form a ball and it is set aside onto paper.
Paint the fan by drizzling the sugar again and drawing thicker threads on the paper. Leave it to harden for a few minutes and carefully peel it off.
A stick is stuck on hazelnut / almond, it is dipped in caramel, raised high to remove the sugar and left to harden.
With caramel you can prepare all kinds of shapes of your choice. It is easy and pleasant to work with, it is important to find the right density, so that it can drip properly.
The caramel figurines for decoration are ready.
