Ingredients
For the Candy
- 2½ cup milk
- 2¼ cup sugar
For the cooling
- 1 heet parchment paper
- butter
Instructions
- Pour milk and sugar into a pan and heat up.
- Mix while the milk and sugar are heating up over medium to high heat.
- Bring to a rolling boil and take back to medium heat.
- Stir occasionally while the milk and sugar get reduced.
- At the last stage, the milk and sugar will get frothy and thick. Just keep on stirring over a medium heat setting while the ingredients are getting thick and darker in color.
- Reduce and stir cook until you are satisfied with the color of your caramel.
- Take from the heat and quickly pour liquid caramel over a buttered parchment paper. You need to be fast because caramel thicks quickly.
- Swiftly spread out the caramel as good as possible and leave it to cool for about 10 minutes.
- When the caramel can be touched without you getting burned, you can go ahead and cut the caramel into a desired size and shape.
- Either wrap your caramel individually in butter paper or store them in a tin box lined with parchment paper.
Notes
- I use a large skillet to prepare my old fashioned caramel so that it reduces faster and the caramel gets formed within 30-40 minutes.
- I use normal milk. I recommend to use a milk which contains enough fats or else the caramels won't shape the way they should. Don't use low fat milk.
- I used regular sugar but you can use brown sugar too.
- You may add flavors to your caramel with the other ingredients. For some ideas see in the post.
- Keep in mind that caramel is super hot so be careful and don't burn yourself!
- My grandmother would roll the caramel into balls. I think spreading out and cutting the caramels is easier and less time consuming.
