Milk Toffee

A favourite sweet in any Sri Lankan home is Milk Toffee.  It looks like fudge. But much harder and is basically pure sugar. But what a treat!  Why don't you try and it and see what you think.

1 can Condensed Milk
25 ml Water
350 g Sugar
2 Cardamom pods husk removed - you only need the seeds
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Dissolve the condensed milk and water over a low heat. Add the sugar and continue to stir constantly until the mixture starts to crystallise and leave the sides of the pan. Crush the seeds of the Cardamom. Add the vanilla extract and the cardamoms into the pan and mix well.

Spread the mixture onto a buttered laminton pan and even out the top.  You will need to do this quickly before it starts setting and gets too sticky to move around.  When it is cool to touch mark the square shapes so it will be easy to cut through. Once cool cut and separate and store in an air tight jar.  For a different touch you can add a handful of chopped nuts.  Sri Lankans usually add Cashews.  You will do this with the Cardamoms and Vanilla.

Let me know how you go.
