Skill

1.The temperature must arrive to 145 ℃ or more when cooking the sugar, otherwise the nougat will not able to be shaped.
2. If the electric mixer is household type, reduce the materials properly in order to facilitate the handle.
3. The whipping white egg is afraid of the oil since the oil on your container will prevent the egg whites from whisking completely. Remember to wipe out all the oil on the container before using it. Also, the butter has to be added after the egg whites are completely whisked.
4. Before adding nuts and folding, the sugar’s temperature is still high. You can wear thick glove first, and then wear the food-grade gloves to prevent from being burned.
5. Since the sugar could be sticky, spraying some baking oil on the gloves and baking sheets previously is recommended.
6. When cooking maltose, it does not need to be stirred all the time, mainly because it is easy to turn into fondant if it keeps being stirred.

Q&A

Q1. How to know if the icing sugar mix has been whipped completely?
A1. When it can be pulled up like the whipped cream. 

Q2. What can be an alternative when there is no maltose?
A2. Sugar 162g and water 38g, stir continuously around 2 minutes and 40 seconds in replace to the maltose. *Although you can use the above method to replace maltose, but the candy’s  taste will be a bit different

Q3. How to measure if the sugar has been cooked to 145 ℃?
A3. According to the step 2, cook it about 6 minutes 40 seconds to 7 minutes. However, we still recommend using the electronic thermometer to measure more accurately.

Q4. Is it necessary to melt the butter directly in the pot?
A4. It can be placed in a heat-resistant container and put in the oven to be dissolved or use the water heating.

Q5. For the step “heating sugar to 145℃”, does it mean to keep the fire small or turn off the fire after the temperature is reached?
A5. If the sugar is cooked to 145℃, add it to the whipped icing sugar mix directly. However, if the icing sugar is still not ready, please turn the small fire in order to keep it warm. Starting from icing sugar mix is recommended. In the meanwhile, the sugar can be cooked so that both of them will be finished at the same time. 

Q6. What can I do if there is no baking pan oil?
A6. You can use salad oil instead. But please do not attach too much in order to keep it from affecting the flavor of candy.

Q7.What kind of the butter is better to use?
A7.Any shape of the butter can be used. (Unsalted butter is recommended)
