Sesame Seed Brittle Recipes

SESAME SEED BRITTLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle sesame seed in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown. Remove from heat.
• Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In 2-quart microwavable bowl, stir together sugar, corn syrup and salt. Microwave uncovered on High 4 minutes or until bubbling. Stir in butter and toasted sesame seed. Microwave uncovered on High 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every minute, until golden brown.
• Stir in vanilla and baking soda (mixture will foam). Immediately pour mixture into pan; spread with lightly greased spatula to 1/4-inch thickness. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Break into 1 1/2-inch pieces.

SESAME BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Combine sugar, honey, and water in a small, thick bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until a smooth slurry forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in raw sesame seeds.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until mixture turns an amber-caramel color, 5 to 10 minutes. A candy thermometer should read 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet.
• Cool until hardened, 15 to 20 minutes. Break into pieces.

SESAME BRITTLE

Steps:

• Generously oil a sheet pan (preferably one with sides) measuring at least 11 by 17-inches with vegetable oil. In a medium-sized heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer to test it, boil the mixture until it reaches 340 to 350 degrees. The color should be deep golden brown. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, then mix in the sesame seeds and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the oiled pan and spread it out a bit with the back of a wooden spoon, to about a 1/4-inch thickness. For thinner brittle, place a silpat on top and roll to desired thickness while it's still warm. Let harden, uncovered, in a cool place, 30 to 45 minutes. (To wash the saucepan, soak it overnight.) Using your hands, wearing white gloves if desired to keep off any fingerprints, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container. To rewarm, place in a 350-degree oven.

SESAME SEED BRITTLE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 12-by-9-inch pan, and set aside. Place the honey and sugar in a medium saucepan set over medium heat, and cook, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring mixture to a boil, and let boil until it reaches 320 degrees, about 6 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add the sesame seeds, almonds, and sunflower seeds, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture onto the prepared pan, and spread out using a greased spatula. Place pan on a wire rack to cool. When brittle is cooled but not hard, ease it out of pan. Place brittle on a wire rack to cool completely. Break the brittle into serving-size pieces.

KETO NUT AND SEED BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a large (18 by 13-inch) rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Grease the mat or parchment and the head of a silicone spatula with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Set aside.
• Combine the remaining 7 tablespoons butter, sweetener, and vanilla in a medium, heavy-bottomed, stainless steel saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sweetener is fully dissolved, 6 to 8 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, just until the mixture reaches a deep brown/amber color then quickly remove the pan from the heat to avoid burning, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Use the buttered spatula to quickly mix in the nuts and seeds, then pour the mixture onto the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the nuts so they are evenly distributed, making sure the brittle mixture is touching all the nuts and seeds. Refrigerate to set, 1 hour.
• Break the brittle into pieces and serve.

NUT & SEED BRITTLE

Steps:

• Line a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease pan with butter. Set aside.
• Put the sugar in a large saucepan and slowly add the water, taking care not to splash. Stir just to dissolve the sugar, then bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Let the liquified sugar simmer until it turns an amber or reddish-brown. Watch it very closely to prevent burning. It should take about 17 minutes. Remove immediately from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Let cool.
• When brittle is cool, invert to remove from pan. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
