Who does not love honeycomb, (or cinder toffee, whatever your preference is)? I love it, crumbled into yogurt, on ice cream, on brownies, and so much more!
This recipe is a simple five minute recipe, that needs 3 ingredients, (of which most people will have in their possession) and tastes delightful. Oh, and keeps, for ages (if it can last that long!)
This is a Nigella Lawson recipe, and I have to share it with you. I use this all the time.
Ingredients
100g caster sugar
4 tablespoons golden syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda.
Now, you need to grease some foil, or use some greaseproof paper. You may find it easy to line a tin so the mixture cannot escape once poured out, especially since we are talking about melted sugar, or LAVA as I like to call it!
Pop all of your ingredients in the pan. Before you turn the heat on, mix your ingredients. You do not mix these ingredients while the heat is on, so now is your chance to.
Now, turn the heat on, and wait (without stirring) until your mixture is fully melted and is bubbling away nicely. This takes around 3 minutes. It should be this colour:
Now for the bit that I think is truly magical, adding the bicarbonate of soda. Take the mixture off the heat, mix in the bicarb of soda, which turns the mixture light and airy and lovely, and then turn straight out into your greased foil/baking paper.
Now leave to set. I like to leave mine out for 10-15 minutes then put it in the fridge for an hour or so, but this is up to you.
When it has completely set, simply peel from the lining, bash it with a rolling pin, and either eat straight away, or put in an airtight container.
Enjoy making this, I know I do, every single time!
