A very similar recipe is used for making Gaz in Iran but instead of almond and dried fruits and the cocoa butter and vanilla flavour, rosewater and pistachios are used. They taste absolutely divine. But then again, I have heard that not everyone enjoys rose flavoured stuff.

I recently discovered your channel. I made this recipe yesterday, had to buy a thermometer and I wanna say… it is MARVELOUS. I had to read about the sugar syrup, the types of sugar and other articles on your site, I know nothing about cooking and this has been a great learning experience! It came out perfectly! Temperature control was a bit hard, and I had to gather my knowledge about the sugar syrup ratios from elsewhere (I used 250mL of water per the 400gr of sugar). I applaud your recipe, your channel and the time you spend writing your articles and making your videos.

@pastrymaestra 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy your nougat was successfull! :) Regarding quantity of water - I get a lot of questions about this. I never weigh water, I just put enough water to cover the sugar. When the syrup reaches desired temperature it will always have exact amount of water in that moment. So, you can put even 400g of water and make this recipe, only you will cook your syrup for a really loong time. :) But I understand the question, I guess it is matter of experience. :)

@pastrymaestra 3 жыл бұрын

Hello, thank you for your kind words! You can swap glucose syrup with corn syrup (if you can find it where you live), or you can make a substitute by cooking 200g of water, 450g of granulated sugar and 1g of citric acid (or 10g of lemon juice) to 115°C (240°F) . Leave it to cool down and store in a jar. :)

@pastrymaestra 4 жыл бұрын

There is no an ideal substitute for cocoa butter unfortunately. Some people use hydrogenated fats instead (like margarine), but the flavor is inferior. You can omit cocoa butter, but the texture of your nougat will be more chewy, if that doesn't bother you. :)

What kind of honey is used? The nougat that I made turned out slightly golden/yellow color.

@pastrymaestra 4 жыл бұрын

Hi, I used multi-floral honey, light in color. It might be darker if you used darker honey, or if your syrup was cooked to a higher temperature than 155°C, and it started to turn into caramel. Also, if you've put dark colored vanilla extract or paste it can make your nougat yellowish. I hope it was tasty, though - that is the most important thing! 😁

My lettuce nougat is creamy but not hard after electric egg whisk, but my freezer is a cooler and not a deep freezer and can only make it slight Marshmellow texture but creamy. How do you make nougat hard without deep freezer? After electric whisk set on high/medium speed or sugar syrup has to be hot? I used sugar syrup but cooled it in the freezer cause I want to see how sticky sugar syrup is like when cooled too.

Can i use maple syrup instead of honey?

@pastrymaestra 4 жыл бұрын

Well, this is a tricky one! So, first thing you should know is that there is a 100% pure maple syrup, BUT there are also various substitutes for this product (that have a significantly different viscosity and a much, much higher water content) like "pancake syrup", "table syrup" or "maple-flavored" syrup! Now, if you are going to use maple syrup, use ONLY a 100% pure one! Second, I personally have never tried to make the substitution you are asking about, so I can't give you a definite "yes" or "no" answer, but I can say this - IF you are going to replace honey with maple syrup, use this formula: 1cup of honey = 3/4cups of 100% pure maple syrup plus 1/2cup of sugar. Finally, you must know that there is a HUGE difference in viscosity between honey and maple syrup, and - last but not least - maple syrup has its own, distinct flavor so the end result (taste-wise) will be quite different in comparison to my recipe. However if you decide to make the switch, please let me know what was the result! Good luck, and have a sweet day!:)

Hi, so sorry to hear that! This is soft nougat and if it is very hot and humid it will melt. I leave it to set overnight. Then I cut it, wrap each bar in cellophane and store in fridge. That way it won't melt or soak humid air from the fridge. 🙂 If you want it firmer anyway, you can increase the temperature of syrup by about 10°C.
