So, you realize popcorn right. It tastes sensible but these pesky bizarre bits which you only can’t chunk that get caught on your teeth. Ugh! Well, it’s sufficient to make me now not consume popcorn. Frustrating yeh, simply due to the fact each time we move to the cinema to see a movie, I can scent that buttery, salty popcorn and right right here it popping within the machines behind the ticket counter and I’m tempted. Every. Single. Time. But I by no means do it. Because of these pesky little corn, pores and pores and epidermis bits that I simply realize I’ll spend the overall night time making an attempt to get out of my teeth.

Ingredients 226 g (2 sticks / 1 cup) salted butter 1 tin (395ml / 14floz) sweetened condensed milk 1 cup (200g / 7oz) white caster (superfine) sugar (granulated will even be fine) 1/4 cup liquid glucose or pale corn syrup 200 g (7oz) white chocolate, finely chopped 1 cup (130g / 4.5oz) plain (AP) flour 1/2 teaspoon finely flooring / desk salt 1/2 teaspoon sea salt flakes 1/4 cup (35g / 1.5oz) icing (confectioners / powdered) sugar Instructions To explain the butter Melt the butter within the microwave, then permit it to split into layers (if you use a pitcher dish it's going to be simpler to see). The higher yellow layer is the clarified butter and the backside layer is the milk solids. If the higher is foamy, use a spoon to skim that off earlier than very slowly pouring 170g of the yellow layer right into a enormous heavy founded mostly saucepan (it might be virtually it all however it does rely at the butter you use - See notes). Toast the flour Add the flour to a frying pan over excessive heat. Stir the flour while cooking for round 5-7 minutes till you've a sensible beige / espresso colored flour (that’s espresso with milk colour). Take off the warmth and permit to cool earlier than sifting. Split into 2 even pieces (65g each).

Stir, over low heat, with out boiling, till the sugar is dissolved and the combination is smooth. Continue to stir for one other 6-8 minutes over low warmth till the combination has thickened a little. Don’t cease stirring simply due to the fact it might catch. If it does catch, take it off the warmth and stir soon to cool it a bit earlier than returning the pan to the warmth and continuing. Add half of the sifted flour (65g only) and closely whisk it in till nicely combined, then hold to prepare dinner over the low for one other minute. It ought to turn into fairly thick. Add the chocolate and salt and stir till the chocolate has melted and it's absolutely incorporated. Turn of the warmth and pour the fudge instantly into your lined baking tin. Sprinkle the sea salt over the top. Press down flippantly with a spoon simply so the salt is caught within the fudge a bit bit and will now not simply fall off when the fudge sets. Leave for 30 minutes to cool at room temperature, then hide with plastic wrap and refrigerate 3-4 hours or overnight. Cut into squares and toss within the buttered popcorn dirt which you only set apart earlier. Shake off the extra and serve.

Notes

1. The recipe calls for simply 170g of clarified butter, but when you don’t have kitchen scales to weigh it out, the little more shouldn’t damage the fudge.
2. The milk solids from the clarified butter might be discarded. I haven’t tried it but I even have learn that they might be utilized in creamy sauces for pastas etc.
3. I don’t personally similar to the type of cooking chocolates so I at all times use consuming chocolate in my cooking. The similar you’d purchase within the candy aisle.
4. For greatest effects you ought to at all times weigh foods like flour and sugar. Kitchen scales are pretty low cost but when you can’t weigh the ingredients, use the spoon and stage technique (don’t scoop).
5. TOOLS USED IN THIS RECIPE
