These Sunflower Seeds Brittle is better than any regular brittle you buy. People who tried it will attest, this is just the best.
I prepared this Sunflower Seeds brittle recipe in English and Filipino language so anyone who wants to cook it can easily understand. Google translator is not good enough in translating English to Filipino, my nose is bleeding when I tried it one time. It made me more confused nevertheless.
(Ang recipe na ito ay hinango sa english at tagalog na version para mas madaling maunawaan.)
Servings: approx. 50 pieces
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups salted dry, roasted, & shelled sunflower seeds
2 cups sugar
Equipments Needed:
Baking Sheet
Tray
Sauce Pan
Heavy Skillet
Silicon Spatula or wooden spoon
Pot holder
Paraan ng Pagluluto:
Pahiran maigi ng butter ang ibabaw ng malaking baking sheet at ilagay sa tray. Ihanda malapit sa paglulutuan ng sugar syrup.
Sa isang katamtamang laki ng kaldero (sauce pan) tunawin ang butter gamit ang mababang apoy. Idagdag ang asin, vanilla at sunflower seeds. Haluin maigi ang sunflower seeds at butter. Panatiliing mahina lamang ang apoy, at haluin ng madalas, upang ang lahat ng sunflower seeds ay manatiling mainit at hindi masunog sa ilalim ng pan
Maghanda ng pot holder para maiwasan ang mapaso.
Sa isang malaking skillet pan, isalin ang asukal at painitin sa katamtamang lakas ng apoy. Haluin ito ng haluin hangang ang asukal ay makita mo na medyo namu-mumuo at unti unting natutunaw na. Ito ay magiging kulay amber brown syrup.
Kapag natunaw na lahat ng namu-muong sugar at naging syrup ang asukal (karaniwan 10-15 minutes). Maari mo ng ihalo sa butter at sunflower seeds na isinantabi kanina. Agarin ang pagalalagay ng cooked sunflower seeds bago pa man lumamig ang sugar syrup at iwasan itong masunog sa ilalim.
Mag-ingat mapaso at Isalin kaagad ito sa hinandang greased baking sheet sa ibabaw ng tray, bago pa ito tumigas. Ilapat gamit ang silicon spatula at pantayin ang paglalapat at nipisan.
Hayaan itong lumamig at saka hatiin or biyakin sa katamtamang laki. Maari na itong ilagay at iimbak sa malinis na airtight containers.
Serve and enjoy!
(Sunflower Seeds Brittle – English Version)
Instructions:
Liberally spray a “cooking spray” or butter on a large baking sheet and set aside. Or, place a silpat mat in a large baking sheet–no buttering required.
In medium size saucepan, melt butter on low heat; add salt, vanilla and sunflower seeds and stir to evenly coat seeds with butter mixture. Keep stove heat at lowest setting, stirring occasionally so that all of the seeds remain warm but don’t scorch on bottom of pan.
Place sugar to large (12 inch) heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir the sugar constantly. As you stir, you will see the sugar begin to melt and form clumps. Slowly, the clumps will start to melt and stir into a smooth, amber brown syrup.
Quickly once the last lumps melt into the syrup (this takes approx. 10-15 min.), add the warm nut mixture and stir to combine. Work quickly so the mixture doesn’t burn. Immediately, pour onto prepared baking sheet. Use a silicone or wooden spatula to quickly spread the mixture into a thin, even layer.
Let cool completely and break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
Your Sunflower Seeds Brittle is ready for munching! Enjoy.. ?
