Sweet Milk Fudgy Logs Mexican Recipe

Ingredients

Recipe for: Macarrones

Makes ABOUT 4 DOZEN

• 3 cups sugar
• 2 cups whole milk
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• 1 small stick canela
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method

1. In a tall, heavy pot (at least 5 quarts), combine the sugar, milk, corn syrup, canela, baking soda, salt, and butter and bring to a boil, stirring
2. Cover with a lid for 2 minutes to remove the sugar crystals and cook, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t scorch the bottom of the pan, until it reaches the soft-ball stage, or 235° to 240°F, 20 to 25 minutes
3. Remove from the heat, discard the canela, and let cool for 30 minutes until it is about 180°F
4. Meanwhile, grease an 8 by 8-inch pan, line it with parchment paper, and butter it again
5. When the mixture has cooled, add the vanilla and beat by hand with a clean wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and loses its gloss, about 5 minutes
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it out with an offset or a rubber spatula
7. Allow to set, about 6 hours, and cut into 1- by 2-inch rectangles
8. Alternatively, you can put the mixture into a piping bag with a starred tip and pipe into 4-inch logs over wax or parchment paper and allow to cool
