Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams White granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and golden syrup. Stir lightly to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture is bubbling.
Stop stirring and let the mixture cook further for about 3-5 minutes until it turns a deep amber color. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the baking soda. Quickly stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. The mixture will bubble and foam up rapidly—this is normal.
Once the baking soda is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture has foamed up, quickly pour it onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. Avoid spreading it out as this could deflate the bubbles.
Let the candy cool completely at room temperature, about 20-30 minutes, until it is hard and brittle.
Once cooled, break the candy into small pieces by hand or using the back of a knife.
Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Serve as a snack or use as a topping for ice cream, cakes, or other desserts.
