Ciocolata de casa cu alune

Caietul mamei are coperti uzate, pagini cu pete de unt si file ingalbenite care miros a copilarie. Il deschid la ciocolata, prima reteta din seria pe care o incep azi. Nu are ingrediente greu de gasit: lapte praf, zahar, cacao, unt si alune. Are, in schimb, o poveste: foile ei sunt scrise de mana, cu cateva cuvinte prescurtate si o mica “X” langa titlu, de parca mama voia sa o recunoasca dintre toate celelalte. De la ea incep, si de aici pornesc toate celelalte prajituri din seria ce va urma.

INGREDIENTE (pentru o tava)

500 grame lapte praf
120 ml apa
500 grame zahar
50 grame cacao
100 grame unt
alune, nuci sau stafide, la alegere

Cernem cacaoa prin sita peste laptele praf, ca sa nu ramana cocoloase, apoi adaugam alunele si amestecam.

Separat, fierbem zaharul cu apa la foc mic pana obtinem un sirop legat. Daca avem termometru de bucatarie, ne oprim la aproximativ 115°C. Adaugam untul si amestecam pana se topeste complet.

Turnam siropul cald peste amestecul de lapte praf cu cacao si amestecam repede si energic, pana obtinem o compozitie omogena.

Turnam compozitia in tava tapetata cu hartie de copt, presaram deasupra alune tocate marunt si lasam la racit.

Homemade Chocolate with Hazelnuts

Mum’s notebook has worn covers, pages stained with butter and handwriting I learned to read a long time ago. I open it at the chocolate recipe, the first in the series I’m starting today. It doesn’t have hard-to-find ingredients: powdered milk, sugar, cocoa, butter and hazelnuts. What it does have is a story: its pages are handwritten, with a few abbreviated words and a small “X” next to the title, as if Mum wanted to tell it apart from all the others. This is where I start, and from here all the other cakes and sweets in the series to come will follow.

INGREDIENTS (for one tray)

500 grams powdered milk
120 ml water
500 grams sugar
50 grams cocoa
100 grams butter
hazelnuts, walnuts or raisins, to taste

Sift the cocoa over the powdered milk so no lumps remain, then add the hazelnuts and mix.

Separately, boil the sugar with the water over low heat until you get a thickened syrup. If you have a kitchen thermometer, stop at about 115°C. Add the butter and stir until completely melted.

Pour the warm syrup over the powdered milk and cocoa mixture and stir quickly and energetically until you get a smooth mixture.

Pour the mixture into a tray lined with baking paper, sprinkle finely chopped hazelnuts on top and leave to cool.
