Mexican MiIk Fudgy Logs


Aishwarya was reading Around the World in 80 Days and an idea stuck me: why not try cooking something from around the world  for  a few days  and see how many countries I will be able to do a culinary hop? So here I am, starting with  Mexico. I choose a sweet dish from there as in my opinion  all travelling should start with something sweet.

Ingredients:
11/2 cups sugar
1 cup milk
2 tbs corn syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/8th tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
3tbs unsalted butter
1/2tps vanilla extract.
Method:
In a tall heavy bottom vessel combine all the ingredients execpt vanilla and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally so as not to scorch  the bottom of the pan. Cook until it reaches a soft ball stage or 240 degree F.
Remove from heat ,meanwhile line a pan with parchment paper and butter it . When the mixture cools at about 180 F add vanilla and beat with hand ,using a wooden spoon .(DO NOT use the same spoon that was used to do the stirring while cooking, as sugar in the spoon will fasten  the crystallization. I didn't follow this and as a result my logs are not as smooth as it should have been). When the mixture loses the glossy look pour the contents to the prepared pan. Allow it to cool and the cut it in desired shape.
