- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (40.1 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: dairy, sulphite
Ingredients
- 25 g Sugar
- 12 g Cane syrup
- 2.5 g Butter, unsalted
- 0.3 g Vinegar, cider
- 0.3 g Baking soda
Method
- Makes about 20 pieces; multiply all the ingredients by 20 for a full batch.
- Butter a baking tray.
- Combine the sugar, golden syrup, butter and vinegar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to a boil and cook, without stirring, until a sugar thermometer reads about 150 °C (300 °F), the hard-crack stage (a little dropped into cold water should set hard and brittle).
- Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda — it will foam up dramatically.
- Pour immediately onto the buttered tray without stirring further, and leave to cool completely until hard.
- Break into pieces once fully set and cooled.
