Hi Rozina, I've been wanting to create the Gaz for weeks and when I found free time yesterday I went and did it. The only thing I didn't have to help was the thermometer, so I had to guess when the syrup mixture was hot enough. When I finished the cooking I left the Gaz in a tin overnight. When I tried cutting it into square or rectangle pieces the following morning I found it quite soft and brittle. Is it supposed to be soft after leaving it at room temperature overnight? My experience of nougat is that it is firm but maybe the Gaz is different, maybe it is meant to be soft. If not where could I have gone a bit wrong? I've put it in a tin now to keep in a dry. cool place. It is very delicious though. Yum yum. I can't wait to share it with friends. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
