Instructions
  1. Put sugar and beer in a saucepan on medium fire, let the sugar melt without touching it. When the sugar is turned brown gold add butter and mix until the caramel doesn't stick to saucepan's sides when you scrap it.
  2. The more you keep toffee on fire the harder will be when cooled out instead of being sticky. To know when it has the texture you want keep a glass of cold water near you and pour a drop of toffee in the water when you think it might be ready: if the drop melts it's too early, if it's sticky but too soft wait few more minutes, if it's gummy sticky it's ok, if it's even harder you'll have hard candies ( they will last longer).
  3. When your toffee is ready pour into silicone moulds for candies, let them cool before removing them.
  4. To preserve toffee wrap them into tin foil as you see in photos.

Instructions
  1. Melt yeast into part of the milk ( I use a blender) let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  2. I suggest to melt also the powdered milk as mine was more in flakes than in powder and they wouldn not melt easily into the dough.
  3. Add to this liquid all the other ingredients and knead untill you have an elastic dough.
  4. Put it in a bowl covered with cling film and store for 12 hours in fridge.
  5. Take the dough, make a rectangle with a rollpin tall about 0.15 inch and cut circles of about 2 inches diameter.
  6. Let them rest untill double then brush with some egg, beated.
  7. Bake at 390°F for 5-6 minutes.
Recipe Notes

For my convenience I don't spread dough with a rollpin but roll small loaves of about 0.4 oz.
