Lollipops: recipe. How to cook large and round lollipops

In the Soviet Union there was everything - both good and not so good. This is a fact with which you can not argue. But that's what it was not to take away from a simple person, so it's savvy.

Simple human savvy, which helped to live and survive. It was this ingenuity that struck the fascists in the distant year of 1941, it was she who brought most of the guests from abroad into awe. And this was a national feature. From nothing to do something - that's almost the super-capacity of Soviet people.

Smartness in cooking

You can talk a lot about the disadvantages of that time, but the fact that the sharpness was manifested in everything - in itself an indicator. Even in such an area as cooking, people managed to find non-standard solutions in those difficult conditions. Another confirmation of this - lollipops. Their recipe is simple to banality, however it does not prevent them from being one of your favorite baby treats. Moreover, not only in the USSR children loved caramel cocks and rabbits. Even now, all the kids are looking at multicolored males, who are sold in the markets of a woman of incomprehensible nationality. Naturally, few mothers will risk buying a treat from one of these ladies. But it does not matter. Even at home you can make a big lollipop and please the children. However, not only children like sweet. Therefore even adults with pleasure will crush lollipops on a stick. The recipe for them we will reveal below. So, let's get started.

Lollipops: recipe

First you need to pour sugar into the pan. It is better, of course, to take the usual white. He is cheaper, and the color of his degree of readiness is much easier to determine. So, pour the sugar into a saucepan of water. For 300 ml of water it is recommended to take about 100 g of sugar.

This proportion is considered optimal. Do not forget to add vinegar, exactly 1 tablespoon. If suddenly there is no vinegar, then you can add 0.1 g of citric acid. Although, as a rule, it's easier to find vinegar at home. To taste, you can add any edible essence to caramel, for example, mint oil or honey. Dyes are best not to get carried away, as they are far from harmless, besides they will interfere with determining the degree of caramel readiness. Next, place the saucepan with all the ingredients on a slow-slow fire. This is necessary, since sugar should not start to burn. Ideally, the sweet mass will begin to "swim", but not burn.

On fire, keep the weight for about 10 minutes, carefully following the color of our future caramel. She is similar in this respect to milk: it is only necessary to turn away, as she immediately strives to burn. Therefore, never leave the cooker during cooking. However, it is not recommended to leave the cooker during cooking. But in the case of caramel it is especially important. The melting point at it is much lower, then, literally in a couple of minutes the mixture will already "float", and it will need an eye and an eye.

How to cook homemade candy on a stick? The recipe has nuances

Why is it so dangerous to stick to sugar? The fact is that because of it caramel will have a bitter taste, and the delicacy will be absolutely spoiled. Ideally, you should get a light brown blend. After that, you can turn off the gas and pour it over the molds. In order to easily extract caramel, it is recommended to lubricate the mold with sunflower oil.

Creamy here, most likely, will not work, as well as margarine. And sweets will easily come out of forms, but will acquire a characteristic flavor that can spoil the whole impression of dessert. There is another option. If there are no special molds, then simple spoons will fit, which must be filled with still liquid caramel. What you do not need to forget is sticks. Yes, we oiled the molds with oil for convenience. But it's even more convenient to eat lollipops. The recipe, as you can see, is nowhere simpler. Of course, as elsewhere, in the preparation of caramel there are nuances. For example, if you use special shaped shapes, you will most likely need an assistant. One and fill the caramel into molds, and inserting the sticks is very inconvenient. Therefore, you can connect to the preparation of sweets and children. Kids will be interested to see how their delicious and beautiful delicacy is born, such as a round candy on a stick. At the same time, take care not to burn the child.

Caramel becomes very hot during cooking. Therefore, as it was said above, it is possible to admit the child to the kitchen only at the final stage of making sweets.

How to cook lollipops on a royal recipe?

As the name implies, this recipe, although based on the previous one, differs from it with its exquisite taste and unusual culinary decision. So, what is unusual about these candies? First, here we use not only caramel, but also spices. So, during cooking, you can and even need to add cinnamon and vanillin. The main thing is not to overdo it. Excess vanillin will give caramel bitterness, and not an easy refined aroma. As for cinnamon, it can be placed in almost unlimited quantities. But in the ground form. Just her wand, placed in a caramel mixture, will not give any flavor, nor a beautiful color. But this caramel is called royal even because of the difficulty in cooking. The fact is that because of cinnamon the color of caramel will change, and it will become more difficult to track whether it burns or not. Of course, you can add spices and at the very end, before pouring the mixture into shapes.

But this is not recommended, since then the cinnamon will simply be on the surface of the candy, and not evenly distributed over the caramel. In principle, there is nothing terrible in this, but then you will not feel all the charm of cinnamon in caramel. So, we give the recipe itself: 400 g of water, 150 g of sugar, 2 tsp. Cinnamon, cardamom to taste.

Caramel "East"

This recipe is considered one of the most ancient. The fact is that this caramel contains a variety of ingredients. And yet, there are two types of oriental caramel. In the preparation of the first type, seeds, sesame seeds, nuts are added to the melted mass. In other words, the resulting product will be something like a grill. The only difference is that the number of seeds and nuts is smaller. Nuances in the preparation of this delicacy are also available.

Nuances and recommendations

So, it is recommended to add only crushed nuts, seeds. Sesame and poppy can be strewed in the original form. And if you decide to add more and flaxseeds, then make a delicacy is not just tasty, but very useful. These homemade lollipops will conquer all - both adults and children. So, the recipe: 300 g of water, 100 g of sugar (you can use cane), chopped nuts, seeds, poppy seeds, sesame. The last ingredients are added to taste, as you can experiment with different numbers of nuts, etc.

Lozenges "Vitamin"

Despite their undoubted benefits, these candies do not have a particular taste. Even a big candy on a stick will not become for your child, most likely, a long-awaited surprise. But it will help you to restore the balance of microelements in the body. So, what are their features and uniqueness? It's simple. For cooking, you need flax seeds, various fiber, ginger ground. If you still want to combine the benefits and taste, add more honey to the sugar. So, the cooking process is almost identical. The only difference is that here we add fiber and flax seeds to caramel.

What fiber is best to take?

Of course, the most delicious - cellulose buckwheat, although it interrupts the taste of sugar. You will get just a buckwheat candy. Therefore, it is better to combine it with the fiber of other cereals. Flax seeds are not only very useful. They, in addition, will amuse the child when they slide and burst in the mouth.
