Do you love liquid caramel in your desserts?
It's so good ! But it's even better when you do it yourself.
It still has to stay liquid!
Fortunately, there is a grandmother's trick to make sure your homemade caramel stays liquid.
To have a perfectly liquid caramel, the trick that works is to add a little lemon juice. Watch:
1. Heat 125 g caster sugar with 10 g water in a stainless steel saucepan, stirring vigorously to distribute the heat.
2. Remove the mixture from the heat as soon as you have obtained the desired colors (white for the icing, blonde for the citrus fruits and the meringues).
3. Add 70 g of lemon juice to the hot caramel, and it will remain liquid.
4. However, if its consistency turns a little solid, you just need to put it in the microwave for 30 seconds on the reheat position.
There you go, you made your own liquid caramel :-)
Good liquid caramel is still better!
Making your own liquid caramel at home is a guarantee of taste but also of savings.
It will indeed cost you much less and will be much more natural than all the industrial caramels that can be bought in supermarkets.
It's easy to make, just like our chocolate cake recipe that you can make at home without spending a fortune at the supermarket.
