Honeycomb With Golden Syrup Recipes

HONEYCOMB WITH GOLDEN SYRUP

Steps:

• Grease an 8-inch square cake pan. Fill a bowl with cold water.
• Bring sugar and golden syrup to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until a small amount of syrup dropped into the water turns brittle, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and carefully add baking soda; stir quickly until foaming subsides and mixture turns golden. Pour into prepared cake pan. Cool until set, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size chunks to serve.

HOMEMADE HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Butter the base and sides of a 20cm non-stick square cake tin. (If your tin isn't non-stick, butter, then line with baking parchment).
• Melt the sugar and golden syrup in a deep saucepan over a low heat, stirring. Don't let it bubble until the sugar has dissolved completely.
• Once melted, turn up the heat and bring to a simmer. Cook until you have an amber-coloured caramel (this won't take long, but if you have a thermometer, it needs to reach 150C, so it doesn't get sticky when stored). As quickly as you can, remove from the heat, add the bicarb and beat with a wooden spoon until it's all absorbed and the mixture is foaming. Immediately scrape into the tin, but be careful, as the mixture will be very hot.
• Leave to cool for 1-1½ hrs until the honeycomb is hard - it will continue bubbling in the tin as it cools. Break into chunks before packaging.

HONEYCOMB

Steps:

• Butter a 20cm square tin. Stir the caster sugar and golden syrup together in a deep saucepan over a gentle heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar grains have disappeared.
• Once completely melted, turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber coloured caramel (this won't take long), then as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the bicarbonate of soda and beat in with a wooden spoon until it has all disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the tin immediately - be careful, the mixture will be very hot.
• The mixture will continue bubbling in the tin, simply leave it and in about 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins the honeycomb will be hard and ready to crumble or snap into chunks.
