Halal & Healthy: RECIPES
Sucre a la crème
INGREDIENTS:
250mL of 35% cream
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
a lump of butter the size of 1/2 an egg
more or less 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (the alcohol-free kind, of course)
METHOD:
Boil cream and sugars together until a spoonful dropped in a glass of icy water forms a ball.
Add butter and vanilla.
Remove from heat.
Beat with a wooden spoon until it thickens.
Spread in a greased pan big/small enough to make a ~ 2 cm
thick layer. Chill until firm. Cut into not-too-big pieces.
YIELD:
A pan of delight.
NOTES:
Beating the mixture might tire you out. You can help the thickening process by placing the pot in a sink that has some cold water at the bottom.
For baking dessert squares and the like, I learned to line my pans with foil and then oil the foil, so that I later just have to lift the foil out for cutting the food – especially with non-stick pans.
Store your sucre a la crème in the fridge.

Comment: My Mamére would make this for us grandchildren when we visited. We didn't get chips or chocolate bars, etc. Not sure why everyone is grossed out - think of Werther's candy - it's pretty much the same taste, just in a softer form. If you cooked it longer than it would be as hard as a candy sucker. As kids we loved it, especially when we would dip her homemade bread covered with her homemade butter into it while it was still warm.

Comment: Hulio, I know it sounds a little gross, but it does taste delicious, it's just really time consuming. Add some chocolate to the mix and it's so much better!

Comment: Hey Hulio from Ontario...your comment is insulting. If you think it doesn't sound good, just don't make it and move on to other recipes. No need to act like a jerk.
