Homemade Brittle (Low Sugar Version) Cooking Steps

Wash and dry the pumpkin seeds thoroughly without water throughout the process;

Roast the peanuts in the oven at 170°C with both top and bottom heat for 30 minutes. When the peanuts are slightly colored on the surface, turn off the heat and pour them into a spacious container to cool. I use a tea strainer at home;

Both sesame and flaxseeds need to be roasted in advance, and I bought pre-roasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds;

Prepare two pans, one for stir-frying the ingredients with a thick bottom, and the other for stir-frying the sugar;

When stir-frying the sugar, you can add a little oil or not. Start stir-frying the sugar over high heat. Once the sugar starts to melt, immediately reduce the heat to avoid burning the sugar. Remember to keep both hands moving in the thick-bottomed pan, exercising both sides of your brain; Once most of the sugar has melted, add the maltose! Keep stirring until all the sugar has melted.

Once the sugar is well-stirred, quickly pour in the fragrant ingredients and mix thoroughly. Once everything is well combined, pour it into a non-stick container. I find using parchment paper convenient. After pouring, press and smooth the surface, then quickly cut it into pieces (in summer when the mixture doesn’t cool quickly, it’s fine, but in winter, you need to be quick).

When cutting the brittle, make sure it’s even so it looks good! Alright, once it’s cooled, you can enjoy it! It’s crispy, fragrant, and sweet! Come and have a piece!
