We recommend
Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Combine ingredients in a medium saucepan and wipe down the sides with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent the sugar from caramelizing before it reaches the desired temperature.
- Heat the ingredients on the stovetop to 149°C (275°F), measuring the temperature with a thermometer. Remove from heat and cool to 135°C (275°F) over a double boiler.
- Dip a fork in the sugar syrup and, moving it as quickly as possible from side to side, pull the caramel threads out over the bottom of a greased bowl. Carefully gather the resulting decoration and place it on a dessert plate.
