Instructions

  1. 1 Combine milk, sugar, sweetener, and vanilla in the biggest pot you have. Place over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to a rolling boil.
  2. 2 As soon as it boils, combine water and baking soda in a small bowl and stir to dissolve; don't worry if it doesn't dissolve completely.
  3. 3 Remove pot from the stove and place in the sink. Add baking soda mixture and stir vigorously as milk will expand rapidly-be prepared! When the mixture returns to its original volume, return the pot to the stove and bring to a very brisk simmer. It may concern you that it will scorch, but it should be practically boiling. Cook, checking and stirring occasionally, until it turns a deep golden brown, about 1 hour.
  4. 4 After the mixture has turned dark caramel in color, check it more frequently. The longer you cook it after the color change, the thicker it will be. For a consistency similar to caramel, cook for another 15 minutes. For a thicker, spreadable consistency, cook for another 20 to 25 minutes. For a candy-like consistency, cook it even longer. Just remember that it will thicken up tremendously after cooling.
  5. 5 Once you're ready, pour the caramel into a plastic container with a lid, or pour into jars. It can be kept without refrigeration, but with refrigeration it is good for many weeks.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat milk in the microwave or on the stovetop to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place warm milk, egg, butter, flour, white sugar, icing sugar, salt, and yeast in a bread machine in the order listed. Run Dough cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.
  3. 3 Divide the dough into 4 or 5 equal parts depending on the size of the roscones you want to make. Take one piece of dough and roll it into a roll about 1/2 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough. Flatten the rolls and fill evenly with guava paste.
  4. 4 Roll the dough once again so the filling is in the middle and not seen from the outside. Take both ends and paste them together, forming a circle with a hole in the middle (like a doughnut). Place in an oiled baking pan, leaving room to grow. With a sharp, non-serrated knife, make some slits on the top just deep enough that you can see a bit of the filling.
  5. 5 Once all your roscones are done, cover and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  7. 7 Brush beaten eggs over each roscone and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
