                Caramel Making:  Cold Water Testing Method

Recipe By     : Connie
Serving Size  :       Preparation Time :0:00

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        (See Below)

For the cold water method (instead of thermometer) you do this:  

Take a cup of cold water and drop some of the mixture you are cooking into 
it. Reach in with a finger and grab the mixture and roll it into a ball with 
your finger inside the cup. 

At THREAD, the mixture spins into a 3-inch thread in the glass. At
SOFT BALL, it will form into a ball when pressed together but does not hold
its shape. FIRM BALL shapes into a ball that will stay in shape, while HARD
BALL forms a ball that is firm, hard but not crunchy. CRACK falls into the
cold water in a sheet that hardens, while HARD CRACK is just that - it
sheets into the water in a crisp sheet that can be broken. 

This is a process much easier shown then explained (I learned this from my  
grandma).  You could check with your county extension office and they might 
be able to send you some additional information.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2           can  sweetened condensed milk
  3               cups  whipping cream
  2               cups  light corn syrup
  2               cups  sugar
  1           teaspoon  vanilla
                        Nuts -- optional

Heat over double boiler until warm, set aside: sweetened condensed milk and
whipping cream.

Bring to a boil in a large, heavy sauce pan: corn syrup and sugar. Bring to
hard boil stage.

Add whipping cream mixture at 5 minute intervals keeping mixture boiling
all the time, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Cook to firm ball stage. Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla and
nuts. Pour into a buttered pan, let set for 24 hours, cut and wrap.

Some of my notes:  DO NOT DOUBLE! Nuts are optional of course. I use my
pressure cooker to cook this. Whenever I have tested this candy with a
thermometer it has not worked out right. If I test it with the cold water
method it comes out just right. Don't attempt to make this unless you have
lots of time and a very strong arm. But all the stirring is worth it
because they are the best Caramels you have ever tasted!

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        **Pastry**
  3               cups  flour
  6             ounces  lard -- (185 grams)
  5        tablespoons  hot water
  1              pinch  salt
                        **Custard**
  3                     eggs
     1/3           cup  sugar
  1 1/2           cups  milk
                        A few drops of yellow food colouring -
                        optional

Comment : The yellow food colouring gives the characteristic deep 
colour but it can be omitted without changing the taste.

Preheat oven: 475-500F (250-260C) for electric ovens; for gas 
ovens 400-450F (200-230C).  Grease the tart/patty pans.

Pastry

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub the lard into the flour  
until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Mix in enough hot water to form a firm dough. Knead lightly on a 
lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness.
Cut out with a 3-inch (8 cm) fluted cutter. Press into the 
prepared pans.

Custard

Beat the eggs and sugar together. Gradually add the milk.
Mix in the food colouring if using. Mix well.

Carefully pour the custard into the pastry shells.

Bake in a preheated hot oven for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat
to moderately hot: electric oven 425-450F (220-230C); gas
oven 375F (190C). Cook a further 10 to 15 minutes or until set.

Makes about 30 tarts.

  2          teaspoons  coffee flavoring
  4             ounces  semisweet chocolate -- broken in pieces
  2        tablespoons  Tia Maria
  2        tablespoons  light corn syrup
  2          teaspoons  superfine sugar

Preheat oven to 400F. (205C.). Lightly grease several baking sheets.

Sift flour and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon onto waxed paper. Pour water into a
saucepan. Add 3 1/2 tablespoons butter and heat gently until butter melts.

Do not allow water to boil before butter melts. Rapidly bring to a boil,
remove form heat and add flour all at once. Using a wooden spoon, stir
quickly to form a smooth mixture. Return pan to medium heat a few seconds
and beat well until dough forms a smooth ball and leaves sides of pan
clean.

Remove from heat and cool slightly. Gradually add eggs, a little at a time,
beating well after each addition to form a smooth shiny dough. Transfer
dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch plain tube. Pipe 24 small
balls onto greased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350F.
(175C.) and continue cooking 15-20 minutes longer or until well risen,
crisp and sound hollow when tapped on bottoms. Make a slit in side of each
pastry to allow steam to escape. Cool on a wire rack.

Whip cream, powdered sugar and coffee flavoring until thick. Spoon into a
pastry bag fitted with a small star tube. Pipe cream into pastry or use a
teaspoon to fill pastry with cream. Arrange profiteroles in a pyramid-shape
on a serving dish.

Melt chocolate and remaining butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of
gently simmering water. Stir in Tia Maria and corn syrup and continue
stirring until sauce is smooth and coats back of a spoon. Spoon chocolate
sauce over profiteroles and let stand a few minutes. Mix remaining 1/2
teaspoon of cinnamon with superfine sugar and sprinkle over profiteroles.

NOTE : Profiteroles are at their best served 2 hours after assembling when
they have softened slightly.

NOTES : I substituted 1/2 cup milk with heavy cream. After processing the
soup, I found the texture not to be acceptable, so I strained the soup.

I garnished this soup with porcini cream -- 1/2 ounce porcini mushrooms
ground fine in a coffee grinder and mixed with cream which has been
whipped.

                     Custard Tarts (Pasteis de Nata)

Recipe By     :The Cooking of Spain and Portugal

--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  12                    puff pastry shells
                        **Custard**
  5                     egg yolks
     1/2           cup  sugar -- (125 mL)
  1                cup  heavy cream -- (250 mL)
  1              pinch  salt
  2          teaspoons  confectioner's sugar -- (10 mL)
     1/4      teaspoon  ground cinnamon -- (1 mL)

Preheat oven to 400F ((205C).

**Custard**

In the top of a double boiler, beat the egg yolks with a whisk or electric
beater until they are well combined.

Set the pan over water that is barely simmering; gradually stir in the
sugar, cream and salt.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the
mixture thickens enough to coat the spoon lightly.

Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a mixing bowl and cool to
room temperature, stirring it occasionally to prevent a crust from forming
on its surface.

Line 12 individual tart tins with the puff pastry or use purchased pastry
shells.

Spoon the custard into the pastry shells to within 1/8-inch (2 mm) of the
top. Place the tins on a baking sheet.

Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are a
light gold colour and a knife inserted in the center of the custard comes
out clean.

Let the tarts cool in the tins for 4 to 5 minutes then run the blade of a
knife around the edges of the tarts to loosen them slightly. Lift them out 
with a narrow spatula.

Mix the confectioner's sugar and cinnamon together; sprinkle over the tops
of the tarts.

Serve at room temperature.
