Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, golden syrup, and water.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and allow the mixture to boil without stirring. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, and heat the mixture until it reaches 150°C (302°F), which is the hard crack stage.
Step 5
As soon as the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 6
Quickly and carefully add the baking soda to the mixture and stir briskly but gently. The mixture will foam up vigorously—this is normal.
Step 7
Immediately pour the foaming mixture onto the prepared baking tray. Do not spread or touch it, as this will deflate the foam. Allow it to set and harden completely, which should take about 30 minutes.
Step 8
Once the honeycomb has hardened, break it into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Step 9
Store the honeycomb in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Serve as a snack, use as a dessert topping, or dip pieces into melted chocolate for an extra treat.
