Cinder Toffee Recipes

CINDER TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a big tray with baking parchment and lightly grease with oil. Place the sugar and honey in a large saucepan with 4 tbsp water. Put over a very low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar has dissolved, add a sugar thermometer and bring to the boil over a high heat. Bubble until it reaches 149C on the sugar thermometer.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the bicarbonate of soda quickly, it will froth up madly - don't worry! Immediately pour into the tray, and leave to cool and set completely.
• Break into shards to nibble, or crumble over ice cream or our Salted honey fudge & chocolate tart (see 'Goes well with' box, right). Will keep in an airtight container between layers of baking parchment for 1-2 weeks.

Steps:

• To prepare Honeycomb Toffee | Cinder Toffee Recipe, it is very important to get all the ingredients at an arm's reach, since it is a quick recipe. Also, grease the parchment paper thoroughly and line a baking sheet.
• Take a Large Saucepan and pour in sugar, corn syrup/golden syrup, and water and mix well till combined.
• Now, on a high flame, let the sugar melt. Do not try to sauté or mix. You can only swirl the pan a couple of times, though.
