Homemade toffee - a beloved dessert of the Russian era

Homemade toffee is a delicacy that has been popular since Russian times, which you can prepare yourself in your kitchen. The basic recipe for such sweets is quite simple and contains only three ingredients: sugar, sour cream and butter. There are several more variations of this dessert. But they are all identical in one thing - they contain only natural ingredients and the absence of harmful additives, which cannot be said about store-bought products. The calorie content of the product is about 380-400 kcal per 100 g. This is a rather impressive figure, but if you eat a few candies, this will not have a negative impact on your health and figure. Let's look at several step-by-step recipes on how to create toffee at home.

Taffy with sour cream

This is the most common manufacturing option with the smallest set of ingredients. Cooking time for three servings is 40 minutes.

Granulated sugar and sour cream – 220 g each;
Butter – 30 g.

Preparing toffees at home:

If you need to create more of this sweet treat, double or triple the amount of ingredients this toffee recipe includes;
In a separate stainless steel container (not an enameled one), combine sugar and sour cream. Place on medium flame, bring to a boil, do not forget to stir always;
At first, the mixture will be covered with small bubbles. Stir and do not leave the stove;
After some time, the mixture will look like condensed milk. Stir and especially work the bottom well;
Soon the mixture will change color and become creamy and thick, so you will soon get sticky candies. If you want the darkest color of the delicacies, then increase the cooking time and stirring intensity;
When you are one hundred percent satisfied with the color, remove the dish from the heat and add butter. Mix it thoroughly into the composition;
A thick toffee mass came out. Quickly pour it into molds, or pour it onto a flat surface, greasing it with butter;
You can use any molds, for example, glass for baking or silicone for candies. It is better to create cuts immediately with a damp knife on the surface; later it will be easier to divide our sour cream toffees into pieces. It is necessary to give the yummy some time to harden;
Next, release the delicacy from the mold and cut into portions. Makes approximately 260 grams of sweets.

Toffees with milk

The recipe for butterscotch with milk will send children into ecstasy. And if you also involve your child in the cooking process itself, for example, let him fill the molds with a viscous mass, the child will be extremely happy.

Butter – 30-40 g;
Granulated sugar and milk - 200 g each;
Vanilla sugar - two teaspoons;
Honey (preferably natural) – a large spoon;
Vegetable oil.

Take a container with a thick bottom, pour milk into it and put it on the flame. Add regular sugar and vanilla. The last one can be replaced with 2 drops of vanilla essence;
Add honey to milk, stir well. When the milky-honey consistency boils, the heat must be reduced;
Next, add butter to the bubbling mixture and stir;
Cook everything over low heat and be sure to stir. Do not leave the product unattended, it may “escape”;
The mixture should thicken and take on a caramel color. This will take about half an hour, and the goodies will be ready;
Grease a mold for ice or candy with vegetable oil. Fill the cells with the sweet mixture and place in the refrigerator until completely hardened. If there is no suitable form, then the candy mass is distributed on oiled parchment paper in such a way that a rectangle about 2 cm wide comes out. After cooling, cut the delicacy with a knife so that small toffees come out;
We wait for complete hardening and then remove the sweetness from the mold;
It is better to store the dessert in the refrigerator in a closed container, because at room temperature the candies may melt and soften.

Creamy toffee

Nowadays, the selection of sweet treats in the store is large, but almost all people, especially the older generation, feel nostalgic for the sweets sold in the Russian Union. You can create creamy toffees yourself and the result will be wonderful.

Dissolve 500 g of sugar in 250 g of cream and place the bowl on medium flame;
Be sure to stir the mixture and after some time it will darken and thicken. When the caramel mass turns the color of coffee with milk, it means it is ready. Remove it from the heat, grind it with 100 grams of butter and flavor with 2-3 drops of vanilla extract;
Place the culinary dish on the prepared surface (greased with oil), smooth it out and let it harden, then cut it perfectly and serve.

Taffy with condensed milk

This is a very savory and especially sweet version of the beloved sweet.

Condensed milk – 300 g;
Milk – 200 g;
Wheat flour – 40 g;
Butter – 100 g.

Toffees with baked milk

Sweet sand – 200 g;
Honey - two huge spoons;
Baked milk – 200 ml;

Cancellation of this act is impossible

Confectionery stores have a large selection of different toffees, but their taste is far from those that all Russian schoolchildren remember. Our website offers a variety of homemade toffee recipes (both the traditional variety and with a variety of additions, textures, and new flavors). The basis for making toffees is milk, cream (sour cream) and sugar, which are boiled over low heat and mixed with sugar, and the other ingredients depend on the specific manufacturing recipe. You can create savory toffees with your own hands: hard, viscous, soft, they can be of different shapes, with different spices. What can you make toffee from? In addition to the main ingredients, seeds, sesame seeds, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and also pieces of chocolate (snow-white and dark) are added to the toffee. Most often, everyone likes the delicacy, but unique ones, with various additions, are for gourmets. If you are not convinced, then it is better to create several options for sweets so that any guest can choose the ones they like.

Iris - tender like a flower, viscous like syrup

Taffy is a candy known to all of us, which for people born in the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also the Soviet Union - a state that existed from 1922 to 1991 in Europe and Asia) , resembles the taste of youth in the same way as the "Bird" cake milk". It will be a discovery for almost everyone, but toffee is not only tasty, but also necessary, just like marmalade. In this article we will tell you when these sweets were invented, where their name came from, how they are made and how they are useful for the body.

Usually the iris is made in the shape of a parallelepiped or square

History of invention

We can say that toffee is a dessert that occupies an intermediate state between caramel and sweets. And if the history of the origin of caramel is not a secret to anyone, then with toffee everything is somewhat more difficult. It is literally impossible to say who invented it. The French appropriate the right of invention for themselves, the Americans for themselves. It is only clear that toffees have been very popular in France since the 15th century, although the French then knew them under the name “taffy”. And South American confectioners claim that their forefathers invented toffee, since they were the first to cook caramel in special deep copper cauldrons.

In Russia, iris appeared in the beginning of the 20th century, when a French pastry chef reproduced them according to a French recipe in St. Petersburg. Not sure that the French name “taffy” would take root on Russian soil, he came up with a cunning move: he called the sweets iris, since they seemed to him as delicate as the petals of the flower of the same name.

Iris can be purchased not only in the form of wrapped candies, but also in tiles

Production process

Without going into details, the toffee production process briefly looks like this: condensed milk, butter (or vegetable) oil, molasses and sugar are mixed in a certain sequence, and then heated in a boiler until the temperature reaches 130 degrees. The resulting mass is cooled to 60 degrees so that it becomes the least watery, thickest and most viscous. After this, it is placed in a unit that creates bundles from it. Then, in a toffee-wrapping machine, the ropes are cut into candies of a certain shape and size and wrapped in a wrapper.

But even this is not the final step of production. To achieve the desired mixture, the toffees are placed in a drying unit, in which, at a temperature of 38 degrees, sugar crystallizes, after which the toffees melt from an incomprehensible mass into actually the toffees that we know.

Types of iris

It is in the drying chamber, at the last step of production, that the toffees acquire the degree of softness on which their belonging to one of the types depends:

viscous;
soft;
semi-solid;
replicated;
semi-solid cast.

So that the toffee does not stick to the teeth, but crumbles and melts in the mouth like ordinary candies, they invented mass-produced toffee - for this, during the production process, crumbles of previously prepared toffees are added to the viscous mixture.

If we talk not about the mixture, but about the composition, then we can also distinguish a number of types:

toffee - dairy-free toffee;
fudge - milk, including chocolate toffee;
sherbet - nutty toffee.

Russians born in the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also the Soviet Union - a state that existed from 1922 to 1991 in Europe and Asia) will easily remember the Golden Key toffee.

The extreme type is so called in the countries of the former USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also the Soviet Union - a state that existed from 1922 to 1991 in Europe and Asia) , the first 2 - in English countries. In addition, at the moment the assortment of toffee is so wide that you can find this dessert with the inside or covered with chocolate glaze.

Healthy candies

The usefulness of iris directly depends on the ingredients included in its composition. For example, molasses (dark molasses) accelerates metabolism, contains many essential amino acids, vitamins (a group of low molecular weight organic compounds of relatively simple structure and varied chemical nature) PP, B1, B5, B6, manganese, sodium, potassium, calcium, selenium, iron , phosphorus.

If the dessert contains milk, then the milk protein will provide you with casein, which helps build muscle mass and lose weight, and calcium. It helps reduce the amount of sugar in the blood (the internal environment of the human and animal body) , affects stress resistance, the body’s ability to relax and rest when it really needs it.

Chocolate toffees from the Sweet Express confectionery - only natural ingredients and a taste familiar from youth

But don’t rush to run to the store and grab the first toffee off the shelves: almost all manufacturers replace healthy natural ingredients with synthetic ones. Carefully study the composition of the sweets before purchasing them, or order them from a proven manufacturer.
