Tips:
The recipe I shared with you today is the most ideal one I have obtained after many trial and error. The nougat made by this recipe tastes very good when placed at room temperature, with moderate hardness.
The hardness of nougat is directly related to the amount of butter and milk powder. If you increase the amount of butter or reduce the amount of milk powder, the nougat will become soft.
After the nougat is mixed in the pan, you can pour it on the greased paper. After the sugar cools and harden, it can be peeled off, but if the quality of the greased paper is not good enough, it will stick to the sugar. I tried pouring it in a non-stick bakeware, and it was a bit difficult to take it out. Even if it is greased, it is not as convenient as pouring it on a tarp. It does not stick at all and can be removed at any time.
The whole process requires a low heat, and the operation is as fast as possible. After adding the peanuts, if the mixture is not good, you can pour it on the tarp and knead it with disposable gloves. It is not sticky. It is convenient.
The finished nougat is best kept in the refrigerator in an airtight seal, which can extend the storage time, and can be frozen if it is not eaten for a long time.
It is best to use a non-stick pan to make nougat, which is much easier to handle.
Peanuts can be replaced with cashews, almonds, walnut kernels, black sesame seeds, cranberries and any other nuts or preserved fruits you like.
If you want to eat cocoa-flavored or matcha-flavored milk powder, just subtract 10 grams of milk powder and replace it with cocoa powder or matcha powder and mix well with the milk powder you need.
