When is it done?
Using an ovenmitt, lift the sloffenring slightly while it's still hot, to see if the edges have browned. If they have, it's done.
Notes
*Make sure this ingredient is at room temperature.
**In Dutch this is called 'witte basterdsuiker', I couldn't find a proper translation. It's like brown sugar, but made with clear sugar syrup and granulated sugar.
