Caramelized sugar cockerel on a stick - DIY How to make LollipopsEnglish subtitles

Hello!
My name is Elena Bazhenova. I am glad to welcome you at my kitchen! Remembering my childhood, I want to make a favorite delicacy of all the children of the USSR.  These are lollipops. They were also called "Petushok" (Cockerel).

Then we didn`t have chupa-chups there, and our grandmothers and mothers were preparing such sweets. It was fantastic! The recipe is very simple and I will share it with you. We will need: 6-9 tbsps water, 9 tbsps sugar, 1 tbsp wine or apple cider vinegar or lemon juice or 1 pinch citric acid, a little vegetable oil and wooden sticks. Sharp tips are better breaking off.

And a mold for sugar candies. I inherited it. Price was 3 rubles. It consists of two halves.

I will make solid caramelized sugar fish, squirrel and bear. Unfortunately, there are no cockerels. Apply thick coat of a vegetable oil to the candy mold. It is better to do it with a finger.

Make this to avoid these candies sticking to the mold. Coat two halves. Connect the two halves together. Fix it with staples.

Set aside. Let`s cook! Pour the sugar into the pan. Water. Add the lemon juice.

Turn on the medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. The syrup is boiled. Reduce the heating to a minimum.

Keep nudging gently until all the sugar is liquid and has acquired a nice caramel color. Check the readiness of caramel. Take the caramel with a spoon. A droplet stretches.

Drip into a cold water. Check. If it is not soft, then caramel is ready. It rings like a bead.

We can make the lollipops. I cooked golden brown caramel. To get a darker color, you can boil more. Caramel is ready.

Take the mold. Pour the caramel into the molds. At once, while caramel is hot, stick in the lollipop sticks. Let them cool completely before you pop them out and enjoy.

Check the lollipops. The stick does not move. Open the mold. The mold is still warm.

Take out. I already made a few lollipops. If you do not have a special candy mold, then you can use a small silicone mold for hot temperature. You will get a small and nice candies.

I cooked marine lollipops. Instead of water, you can use juices, milk. You can add cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg. This is your play caramel and you can try out different things with it.

Such candies are wrapped in food film and stored at room temperature. Cook with pleasure and enjoy! TASTY DIALOGUE WITH ELENA BAZHENOVA..
