Guest Blowingchef Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 I would like to make a custard for my bf. he likes it very much. To impress him this coming weekend, I have been trying to make one but always fail on caramelizing the sugar. It always get burned and tastes so bitter. How to do the right thing? Quote
Guest Persona Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) The sugar need to be cooked at a low heat temperature. You need to constantly stirr the sugar until it melted and becomes golden brown.. Edited November 21, 2016 by Oraclemoon Quote

jackomaki Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 take note of the amber colour of the caramel, too deep = too bitter. a nice rich golden color can le, like what the above people said Quote Cooking is my passion. Music is my life. Reading is my sanity. Bitching about you keeps me happy. "People fear because of a lack of understanding, and a lack of understanding comes from a lack of proper communication on both parties, so to resolve fear we need to first resolve communication"
Chocolateabs Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Depends. There are 2 ways of doing it. One way is as what they say add water. Another one is just sugar. Quote
Chocolateabs Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 What i taught is just sugar and butter. Quote
Guest Cooker Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Geez! just search on youtube, watch and learn better, no? Quote
Chocolateabs Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 Using the method to do, gonna take long time as there is water content. If you use just sugar, faster, but you need to control Quote
