In essence, this is an American nougat, flavoured with a blend of nuts. You can also add dried fruit to the mix for more flavour (and colour), which makes this an excellent Christmas gift.
Ingredients:
450g sugar
60g chopped nuts
60ml golden syrup
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
60ml water
1/2 tsp lemon extract
Method:
Combine the sugar, syrup and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue cooking until the temperature reaches 115°C as measured on a confectioner's thermometer (the soft ball stage). Take off the heat and set aside to cool.
In the meantime, beat the egg whites until frothy then pour the cooled syrup over them, beating all the while. Continue beating until the mixture is creamy then add the nuts and the flavourings.
Pour into a well-buttered tin and set aside to cool completely. When cold cut into squares and ether store or coat by dipping into flavoured fondant.
