How to make sugar cakes in the 2021 squid game

Squid game —— Sugar pie

 I finished Netflix's "Squid Game" some time ago, and I have almost forgotten the plot and so on... Now, I am full of pèng sugar production.

The rule of this game is to use a model to press different shapes on the candy, and then use a needle to poke or draw along the pattern, and the complete pattern in the middle is created within the specified time, even if you win, you don’t have to die.

So today we start "interesting production" and talk about the complete process: first, the raw materials are very simple, only three kinds of white sugar, water, and baking soda, which are then added at different stages and mixed together.

1、Simmering sugar

I am looking for a large stainless steel spoon as a heating container, and I want to play with it. If I imitate the big pot in the show, I am worried that there will be too much to eat...

In the process of boiling sugar over low heat, some people directly add a small amount of water before heating, while others heat the sugar before adding water. No matter what kind of approach. The proportion of water should not exceed half of sugar. For example, if the sugar is 200 grams, the water should not exceed 100 grams.

2、Baking soda foam

When the heating temperature of the mixed syrup in the front reaches 125°C, it will gradually change to the brownish yellow as shown in the figure below👇. Now add the baking soda, continue to stir quickly, the syrup will begin to expand rapidly, and finally become a fluffy sugar pie~

The reason for the swelling of syrup is that the heating of baking soda produces carbon dioxide. Puffing sugar is also called puffed sugar, which is based on the principle of expansion~ We also use baking soda in making shortbread biscuits such as "3+2 soda cookies" and "chocolate cookies"~

3、Cooling and shaping

After pouring the syrup, let it cool naturally for about 10 seconds. The syrup will harden on its own, almost in shape.

4、Mold pressure map

Then use a frying pan to press it a little bit, and after the bubbles are flattened out, the patterns can be extruded with a variety of molds.

Games start!

When you continue to wait for the puffing sugar to cool down, you can find a needle, make a friend, and have a "life and death" puffing fight! Today's production is complete~
