Hello, I'm a confectionery expert with years of experience in making various types of candies, including nougat. Nougat is a versatile candy that can be made with a variety of ingredients and flavors. Here's a classic recipe for making nougat candy:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts)
- 1/2 cup chocolate (optional, for coating)
Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup, and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan. Cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
4. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg whites, vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
5. When the sugar mixture reaches 300°F, carefully pour it into the egg whites in a slow, steady stream while the mixer is running. Continue beating until the mixture has cooled and forms stiff peaks.
6. Fold in the chopped nuts with a spatula.
7.
Spread the nougat mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a layer about 1/4-inch thick.
8. Allow the nougat to cool completely.
9. If using chocolate, melt it in a double boiler or using the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
10. Once the nougat is cool, use a serrated knife to cut it into pieces. Then, dip each piece into the melted chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper to set.

Whisk the egg white in a heatproof bowl until stiff. Combine the sugar, glucose, honey and water in a small saucepan. Stir over very low heat until the mixture reaches the small crack stage, or 275 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
