Honeycomb

Sugar is bad - I get it. But honestly, there is SO much we are deprived of that I have decided that as long as we keep sugar to a minimum, at least we know it is on the safe list as far as reactions are concerned. So here is a recipe that is almost completely made of sugar. It is dedicated to those who, like me, are struggling to find a safe sweet to eat. Also bi-carb (baking soda) is actually good for us so I have decided to kid myself that the good will outweigh the bad on this occasion. 

HONEYCOMB
100g raw sugar
80g golden syrup

1 tsp bi-carbonate soda/baking soda

1. Lay out a sheet of baking paper/parchment paper or a silicone alternative inside a large dish with edges just in case the mixture ends up thinner than expected

2. Stir sugar and golden syrup in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar has dissolved

3. Stop stirring, increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil (do not stir) and boil for 5 minutes

4. Remove from heat and quickly add bi-carb, stirring until thoroughly combined

5. Tip onto prepared sheet and spread with the spoon - it's easier to break up if it is a bit thinner

6. Leave to cool

7. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container

Enjoy (in moderation) ❤️
