Make your own breast plate, step by step.

Ingredients

2 el water

Kitchen Stuff

6 breastplate shape (diameter 5 cm)
1 baking paper

Directions

Place a sheet of parchment paper on the worktop or a heat-resistant cutting board and place small shapes on top. Grease the molds.
In a pan with a thick bottom, heat the sugar with the whipped cream and water on low heat. Stir continuously with a ladle.
Let the melted sugar simmer gently for 3-5 minutes while stirring.
Test with a ladle if the mass is good. This can be done in 2 ways. Method 1: last drop of sugar syrup that runs from ladle draws a thin thread.
Method 2: drop that falls into a cup of cold water immediately forms a hard ball.
Remove the pan directly from the fire and stir the sugar syrup continuously during cooling, otherwise the mass forms too coarse a structure.
When the mass begins to become cloudy and thicker, spread it at lightning speed over the greased molds (up to approx. 1/2 cm thick).
Allow the breast plate to cool for 10-15 min. Carefully lay the molds on their sides and allow to cool down further.
Put the molds flat again and allow to cool for another 10 minutes. Carefully remove the baking paper and remove the molds.
