Ingredients
- 200 grams Sesame seeds
- 100 grams Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the sesame seeds to the pan and toast them while stirring frequently. Continue this process for about 3-5 minutes, until they are lightly golden and aromatic. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey and water. Heat on medium, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to bubble and turns a slightly darker shade.
Step 4
Add the toasted sesame seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to the honey mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the seeds are evenly coated.
Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Carefully pour the sesame mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture into a thin layer.
Step 7
Allow the sesame candy to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Once mostly set but still slightly pliable, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the candy into desired shapes (such as squares or rectangles).
Step 9
Let the candy cool completely at room temperature until they harden entirely.
Step 10
Once hardened, break along the cut lines to separate the pieces.
Step 11
Store the sesame candy in an airtight container at room temperature.
