Dalgona

Ingredients

makes 1 cookie

• 2 Tbsp White Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
• 7 to 8 nuts (almonds, cashew, pistachios, or peanuts), optional

Directions

1. If you use nuts, place several on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, in a circle about 2 inches diameter
2. Put the sugar in a stainless steel ladle (or small pan) over low heat. When the sugar starts melting, stir it with a long-handled stainless or wooden spoon so it melts evenly and doesn’t burn. Control the heat by lifting the ladle far from the heat or bringing it closer, as needed.
3. Stir the melting sugar until it turns into a smooth, clear liquid with no lumps.
4. Add baking soda and continue stirring. It will expand and change from light brown to creamy golden beige and then it will expand three times in size.
5. Quickly drop the hot candy on top of the nuts. Let it cool down for about 10 minutes.
6. Serve right away.
