Tasty Facts
– If the coating on the inside of the saucepan is dark, a trickle dripping from a spoon will help determine the color of the melted sugar.
– It is important not to overexpose the sugar on fire and avoid the smell of burnt sugar.
– If you pour cold milk into melted sugar, it will not dissolve well. If you pour in all the milk at once, a lump will form, which will also be difficult to dissolve.
The salt in this dessert compensates for the cloying sugar.
