Nuts Charamusca
- Ready In:
- 17mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
10-20 pieces
ingredients
- 2 cups piloncillo
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts
- 1 wax paper
directions
- Grate the Piloncillo with a normal cheese grater until you get the two cups. If you don´t have Piloncillo use the brown sugar.
- In a saucepan on a low temperature melt the first three ingredients stirring constantly with wooden spoon.
- Let it boil for aproximately 7 minutes or until a tough string of caramel is formed when you lift the spoon up . Remove from heat.
- Grease a long mold and pour the caramel trying to have it cover the whole mold trying to extend the mixture as far as you can. Meanwhile lubricate your hands with a little butter.
- When the mixture begins to cooldown , fold the corners towards the center trying not break them. As soon as the temperature pemits it try to form a ball with the caramel.
- Divide into several chunks, stretch and roll it a few times.
- Stretching it out several times before it cools, then dust with chopped nut. (the recipe doesn't specify which type of nuts. Almonds, Macadamians etc will work).
- Finally, give them a little twist to give it their "typical" form. They will look like a licorice stick only wider. A spiral staircase.
- Wrap each one in the waxed paper.
- Enjoy!
