When I was a child, I liked to eat pine seed candy, containing a piece in my mouth, reluctant to chew, let it slowly melt in the mouth, sweet and silky, and finally left with pine seed kernels to chew a bite, full of flavor, endless aftertaste, just at home there are pine seed roasted to sell the remaining pine seed kernels, maltose at home also has, it is better to make some pine nut zongzi candy to eat, find the next childhood memories.
There are about 35g of pine seed kernels left at home, and 90g of maltose, 90g of white sugar, 10g of butter, and 80g of water are prepared.
Stir-fry the pine seeds in the pan first, or use the microwave or oven to bake, just control the time, do not paste.
On low heat on the stove, pour the sugar, maltose and water into the pot and stir to dissolve, then add butter to dissolve.
The whole process of small heat boiling, at the beginning there will be a lot of small bubbles, because it contains water, until the equal water is boiled dry, the bubbles gradually become larger, the color becomes darker, with a spoon dipped in some sugar in cold water, sugar quickly solidified can turn off the fire.
Turn off the heat and put the sautéed pine seeds in it and stir well.
Stir the good sugar liquid pouring board, after a little cool, quickly shape it with your hands, rub it into a round long strip, the thickness of the long strip determines the size of the sugar block, this process is very critical, too hot will be very hot, too cool to solidify, can not be shaped, so it is best to wear gloves, the action must be fast.
After the strips are kneaded, cut into sugar cubes with scissors, and each time they are cut, they are cut in a different direction and cut again, and the sugar cubes cut out are in the shape of rice dumplings.
Cool it and pack it in a sugar bag.
Pine nut rice dumpling candy method is very simple, almost no difficulty, is to pay attention to two points, boiling sugar time to master well, the time is long and short is not OK, you can prepare a bowl of cold water, with chopsticks from time to time in the cold water dipped, if the sugar can be quickly solidified, immediately turn off the fire, there is a point, and finally the shape of the shape of the sugar cube action is fast, slow sugar solidification can not be operated, pay attention to these two points, pine nut rice dumpling sugar can be 100% successful.
