- Bake the biscuits in the oven at 200 ° C for 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180 ° C and continue for another 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the sweets inside with the door ajar for 10-15 minutes.

It is recommended to constantly monitor the temperature of the sugar to prevent it from exceeding 177 ° C: in addition to this temperature, in fact, the sugar burns taking on an unpleasant bitter note.- Quickly remove the saucepan from the heat, and sprinkle the caramel over the biscuits.
