- lemon juice - to taste.
Preparation
How to make kozinaki from sunflower seeds? For cooking kozinak at home, we take peeled sunflower seeds, dry them in a dry frying pan for 5 minutes and transfer to a plate. If time allows, then it is best to pour them on a baking sheet and send for 10 minutes in a preheated oven to 100 ° C. So they will become more fragrant. Then pour out the sugar in the frying pan, add the boiled water, a few drops of lemon juice and cook the caramel, stirring it constantly. It should turn out to be a pleasant golden brownish color. Now add the dried seeds to the caramel and mix everything thoroughly. We do this very quickly, without removing the frying pan from the fire, as caramel immediately hardens. Next, the hot mixture is carefully laid out on the parchment and distributed evenly. Minutes through 3 sharp knives make small cuts, so that after hardening it was convenient for you to break the kozinaki.
