Naturally, like all dishes, “Golden Key” is easy to spoil: if you took too much butter, the cake became viscous and runny; I went too far with the amount of butterscotch - I got not a soft key, but an iron fitting...
Today we will prepare the “Golden Key” according to the recipe that my mother used to use: nothing extra, without unnecessary hassles of inventing your own bicycle. The cake always turned out moderately sweet, soft and crispy.
Required ingredients: 200 grams of corn sticks, 500 grams of “Kis-Kiss” or “Golden Key” toffees, 200 grams of butter.
I also advise you to purchase disposable medical gloves in advance so that you can put on warm gloves (so that your hands don’t burn when shaping the cakes), and medical gloves on them. If you don’t have gloves, you can use a regular bag instead.
Preparation:
We clean the toffees from candy wrappers.We carefully ensure that there are no paper particles left on the candies.
First, into the pan in which we will cook our “Golden Key,” we put the butter, which needs to be melted. But be careful not to let the oil boil.
After the butter we send the toffee. We add them gradually, and not in a general heap.
Melt the toffee and butter mixture until smooth. Don't let it boil and get sugary.
Pour corn sticks into the pan and mix the resulting mixture thoroughly.
When the mixture has cooled a little, form it into a cake. There are several options: individual small cakes or a large “loaf”, which will then need to be cut into portions.
Place the formed cakes in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to soak.
Considering the fact that we made a “loaf”, now we need to cut it into pieces.
The delicious Golden Key cake is ready.
Bon appetit!
