How To Make South African Fudge

My aunt visited me and showed me how to make this fudge that i've only ever had in South Africa. It had been 10 years and now that sweet sweet taste finally got to hit my lips again.

[@thanyitimothyraphalalani9960]

I'm a South African attempting too make this however! Why is it in pounds? We use the metric system here

[@chantelleventer4678]

i wont try it there no flour in fudge

[@ruangrobler8505]

Neh😂

[@traceypelser9254]

Apologies - I made it for my nephew whilst in USA and he made the video using pounds and ounces.

[@traceypelser9254]

chantelle venter That’s a pity ... you missing out on a delicious old SA recipe. It was my great-grandmothers and I’m 100% South African !

Flour? That’s not how the South Africans do it 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@BevR-UK]

Flour in fudge? I do NOT think so!

[@raphaelalbert8110]

It's like the Indian version (which uses flour) known as Halwa.

[@kiyoponnn]

@@raphaelalbert8110 Halwa has no flour in it and it isn't fudge😂

[@raphaelalbert8110]

@@kiyoponnn Never heard of atte-ka-halwa or sooji-ka-halwa? Both grain-based. Perhaps you're thinking of the Greek-style "halva" which is seed-based.

[@traceypelser9254]

This is a very old recipe - handed down family recipe of my great-grandmother. I’m sure (just as there are for a basic sponge cake) there are many different recipes out there for fudge (this one has flour). This is not Halva. It’s delicious.

Okay 1. Way too much sugar used and 2 you don’t use flour. You use golden syrup and vanilla extract

[@traceypelser9254]

Harrypotterfan334 Fudge is all about the sugar. There are many different recipes for fudge. This one uses flour.

[@Harrypotterfan334]

Tracey Pelser fudge recipies NEVER call for flour hun. And there is such a thing as too much sugar you added a freaking gallon of sugar. That’s asking for type 2 Diabetes

[@traceypelser9254]

Harrypotterfan334 a diabetic would never eat fudge anyway. Do you have a fudge recipe to share ? My recipe is proof that some fudge recipes require flour - try making it ... you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

[@traceypelser9254]

Harrypotterfan334 just google ‘Fudge recipes with flour’ you’ll be amazed how many there are.

[@Harrypotterfan334]

@@traceypelser9254 You made diabetes that is not SA fudge my dear.

[@markj2014]

Regarding the comments that this recipe is not authentic South African Fudge because it contains wheat flour. Those comments are incorrect. You cannot get more authentic than recipes from “Huisgenoot” magazine (edited by Annette Human). The book “Huisgenoot Wenresepte 2” (Wining recipes 2) (published 1984) has a recipe submitted by H.Gous (from Empangeni) that has 140g “koekmeelblom” (cake flour). That same recipe was reprinted in “Die Beste van Wenresepte” (The Best of Winning Recipes) While Cake Flour may be an unusual ingredient for “Authentic Traditional SA Fudge”, its use has certainly been well documented. (I have a PDF or .jpeg of the book/recipes available for upload if required)

[@lieselp]

My friend used to make and sell her fudge in SA to the shops and she used flour in hers also. Was the best fudge ever!!!

[@lieselp]

@MARKJ2014 can you please send me a copy of that recipe please

[@jgfreer8322]

❤yes please! Where can we find it?

[@markj2014]

The recipe and method is very similar to this KZbin video by Titoyo. This is the recipe from “Lets Cook Top 500 recipes” compiled by Carmen Niehaus (the original, Afrikaans, was in Winning Recipes 2 compiled by Annette Human) 160 g butter 75 ml (5T) golden syrup 1 can (397 g) condensed milk 325 ml hot milk 6 x 250 ml (6c) sugar 250 ml (1 c) cake flour 2 ml (1/4 t) cream of tartar 5 ml (1 t) vanilla essence Heat the butter and syrup in a heavy-based saucepan of low heat until melted. Add condensed milk and milk and mix. Combine the sugar and flour and add to the milk mixture, stirring well. Bring the mixture to the boil over low heat, stirring continuously. Add the cream of tartar as soon as the mixture comes to the boil and simmer for about 25 minutes over low heat until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon to prevent it from sticking to the bottom. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla essence. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon until it begins to stiffen. Pour the fudge into a 28 x 18 x 3 cm greased dish, spreading it evenly. Cut into squares before it hardens completely. Makes 72 squares. These are my additions: 6 cups of sugar is about 1350 g. I used less about 1 Kg 250 ml cake flour is about 140 g. I used all-purpose flour I used full cream milk and did not warm it. Soft-ball stage is about 114 degrees C (113-117 c)

@@markj2014 Thank you for replying - very much appreciated! 🙏🎖️💐👍

[@OlaMagnusLie]

By the way, if you take that can of sweetened condensed milk and (unopened) boil it (covered in water) for three hours, you will get what we Norwegians call HaPå, a caramel spread to put on your bread. (Condensed milk isn't often the topic, so for once I could finally share my random knowledge of it)

[@titoyo]

Ola Magnus Lie ooohhhh I'll try that out

[@mspeak1000]

We in south africa just call it caramel...we don't use it as spread though...we fill cakes and donuts and biscuits and stuff....easy way to make a caramel filling when all you have is some condensed milk...add some cocoa powder or melted chocolate and its delicious choc caramel

[@Vee13H]

We all did that in SA when I was a little girl - some 50 odd years ago..🤫. still do it now and then - makes the best caramel 😋

[@annalisahallet1869]

Can y’all don’t be so mean in the comment love u all who put nice ones

[@ezozoconnexion8407]

South African fudge yet you're using pounds and ounces

[@chantelleventer4678]

omg why are there flour in ur fudge😬

[@Enlightenment246]

Flour 😳😳😳 definitely NOT

[@OlaMagnusLie]

What's the texture like? I guess "fudgey", but is it that hard kind, the "kind of crumbley" kind... Chewey? Dangnabbit, guess I have to make some.

[@titoyo]

Ola Magnus Lie it's Definitely a little crumbly.

[@traceypelser9254]

Ola Magnus try make some - its a delicious recipe.

[@poepflater]

it is like a coarse type of chalky sugary crumble... Chocolate fudge tends to be more gooey in the middle, they are like the yin and yang of fudge... I don"t care for peanut fudge.

[@tanyaelston6738]

SA Fudge does not have flour...this is odd?

[@lailadavids]

Fudge made with a bit of flour is a spectacular addition. I can see where you going with that awesome addition to the recipe.Thanks!
