Ah, brittle. You simple – yet utterly seductive – sweet treat. How you tempt us with your glistening amber body, your come-hither-morsels and your heady caramelly aroma!
Brittle is about as pure as a sweet as one can get. Quite simply, caramelised and set sugar with tasty bits suspended within. In the Sweet Tooth chapter of The Dumpling Sisters Cookbook, we share a classic Chinese brittle recipe called fah sung zjie ma tong, which features roasted peanuts and toasted sesame seeds. And for a Dumpling Sisters twist, we also like to add some dried chilli flakes!
OH NOES! We have noticed an error in our book! Unfortunately we omitted ‘water’ from the ingredients list and method on page 239. We’ll make sure that this error is rectified in future prints 🙂 Face palm/cringe and apologies! A&J
