Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Sesame seeds
- 150 grams Honey
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Prepare a clean flat surface or a baking sheet by greasing it lightly with butter. This will prevent the candy from sticking.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine honey and sugar. Cook over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble. This should take about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the honey-sugar mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the toasted sesame seeds and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Mix well to ensure the sesame seeds are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Quickly pour the sesame mixture onto the prepared surface or baking sheet. Use a greased rolling pin or the back of a greased spoon to flatten it into an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick.
Allow the candy to cool for 5-10 minutes, but not completely harden. While it is still warm and pliable, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares, rectangles, or diamond shapes.
Let the sesame honey candy cool completely until it hardens and becomes crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
