Peanut Brittle

Salam semer. Well..lama dah tak bermadah kat sini. Today terasa cam nak makan peanut brittle la plak.. Hrmm nak kata mengidam tak jugak. Kalau ikut psychologist, we'll develop cravings when our body lacks something, and I know what that is... Sugarr....Time to fill up with high octane sugar rush.... Anyways, here's the recipe for peanut brittle that I'd like to share with all.. I actually get this from the net. But at least , this one is a tried and tested one lar and menjadik....

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups peanuts
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. butter (or margarine pun boleh)
  
• 2 tsp. baking soda

Instructions

Heat and stir sugar, syrup and water in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Add salt. Cook over medium heat to soft ball stage (234 degrees). Add peanuts at 250 degrees. Cook to hard crack stage (290 degrees), stirring often. Remove from heat.

Quickly, stir in butter and soda. Beat to a froth for a few seconds. Pour at once onto 2 well-buttered 15-1/2x10-1/2x1-inch pans, spreading with spatula. If desired, cool slightly and pull with forks to stretch thin. Break up when cold.

Yield: About 1-1/2 pounds of peanut brittle.

TIPS :

• You can also use cooked peanuts. If let say u use cooked peanut, add the peanut lepas dah angkat dari api, and add together with the butter. If you're using salted peanuts, omit the salt in the recipe.
  
• Cairkan butter terlebih dahulu so that butter tu akan lebih sekata bila di mix sekali.

Ok.. that's all. Selamat mencuba. If anyone has any probs or questions you're always welcome to ask.
