Practice and steps

1

Put sugar, water and corn syrup into a stainless steel container, and slowly boil the syrup with low fire. In the process of boiling, the bubbles of syrup will become thinner and thinner with constant stirring. This process takes about 50~60 minutes. Measured with a food thermometer, the temperature reached 140 degrees, indicating that the syrup was almost ripe.

Add a little fine sugar to the egg white until it hardens and bubbles, pour the cooked syrup into the egg white bowl, continue to stir evenly with the eggbeater, and add peanuts;

Tip: 1, egg whites should be beaten when the syrup is almost ripe, and the egg whites should be prepared in advance; 2. After the syrup is cooked, the next steps should be done in one go, and it is best for someone to help; Don't uncover the tarpaulin until the sugar is completely cool, and don't worry about it. Put it in the refrigerator for half an hour, then take it out and open it directly. I like nougat without milk powder. I think the color and taste have been corrected, and you can add a little if you like the taste of milk.
