Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
Instructions
Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with a neutral oil. Set aside.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and golden syrup.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar has dissolved. Avoid stirring once the mixture starts to bubble, as this can crystallize the sugar.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, or until it turns an amber caramel color. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the baking soda. Be prepared for the mixture to foam up rapidly.
Quickly pour the foamy mixture into the prepared baking tray, spreading it out gently if necessary. Do not press or flatten it, as this will deflate the airy texture.
Allow the honeycomb to cool and set completely at room temperature, which should take approximately 30-60 minutes.
Once hardened, break the honeycomb into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crispness. Enjoy as a sweet treat or crumble over ice cream for added crunch.
