Рецепт Honey Nougat Recipe
I wanted to call this naked nougat but can you imagine how the search engines would rank that? My experiment with sugar free nougat did not start off very well. I thought it would be easy to find rice paper, but I was wrong. I went to 3 different shops and could not find any. Had I planned this better I would not have been looking for rice paper on the Saturday before we left for overseas. We have two baking supply shops close to where I work and I am sure that one of them stocks rice paper. But I did not go to either place as I thought that Pick N Pay would have it and so I just added rice paper to my regular shopping list. My second disaster came about when I used the thermometer to make the nougat. Attempting to get the honey to a temperature of 121°Celsius resulted in a toffee like substance. I poured this toffee into one of my disposable baking tins, together with the 175g of toasted pistachios and hazelnuts, and decided only after I had done this to actually taste the toffee. It was burnt! And what a waste. Not having any nuts to use, and no rice paper and no working thermometer – turns out my thermometer is not correctly calibrated, I made a second batch of nougat. The trick without using a thermometer is to get it to the hard ball stage using a bowl of water. I did not take it far enough, so my nougat is a bit sticky – but it tastes great, which is really what matters. The nougat that you see here is naked – it has no filling and no covering, and will be used to make a nougat ice cream soon. I will try this again as now that I know what to look for in the process, and now that I am ordering a new sugar thermometer, it should be easy! Thank you Teresa for setting a really great challenge for us this month.
