Homemade Honeycomb
Ingredients
- 150 g castor sugar
- 50 g golden syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Line a flat tray with parchment paper.
- Bring the sugar, water and golden syrup to the boil for about 5 minutes. It will turn a deep, dark golden colour. If using a sugar thermometer it should reach a temperature of 150. Please be careful at this stage as hot sugar gives a bad burn.
- When it has reached 150 sprinkle in the baking soda and whisk. It will explode and develop into big bubbles.
- Quickly pour out onto the lined tray and allow to set and cool for about 30 minutes.
- Crack into delicious crunchy shards and chunks.
- Be sure to get into an airtight container ASAP.
- Honeycomb is hygroscopic and will go soft and sticky if left out in the air.
- Optional, dip in melted milk or white chocolate.
