Milk fudge - recipe
This recipe is for those who want to remember the taste of childhood, although it is possible to use milk sweet not only in the form of sweets, but also as a glaze for cupcakes.
Ingredients:
- granulated sugar - 400 g;
- milk - 450 g;

Preparation
We take a ladle with a long, comfortable handle, pour milk into it, pour out the sugar. We put on the fire, and continuously stirring with a wooden spatula, bring to a boil. When the syrup starts boiling, your main task for the near future is not to let him escape. It is necessary to boil the syrup on low heat, so that the volume is reduced approximately twice to obtain a light cream color. If you drop a little syrup on the ice and the frozen drop can easily be rolled into a soft elastic ball, the syrup is exactly ready. Now this liquid must be quickly cooled. We put the ladle with syrup in a basin of ice, pour cold water on the ice, constantly stir the syrup. The syrup, cooling down, thickens and hindering it becomes more difficult. We remove the ladle from the ice and overcome the resistance of the milk-sugar mass and intensively interfere with it until it starts to lighten and turns into a single creamy-sugar lump.
In order to get the candy, you need to warm the mass a little over a small fire until it becomes slightly plastic. Then we spread the future sweets on a leaf of foil with a teaspoon, we can take silicone molds for ice. Pre-lubricate the forms with oil. You can squeeze out a lot of confectionery bag, but take the nozzle with a larger diameter. If there is a desire, we add nuts or candied fruit to the milk fondant. In order to cover with a sweet cupcake or Easter cake, it needs to be warmed up more forcefully.
