Honeycomb

Fancy? Yes. Impressive? Yes. Sweet? Yes. Fun? Yes. Tasty? Not so much, but then again it's not really about the taste, but mostly about fun and impressive. It's really interesting to make and it looks really pretty, so why not? Especially when all the ingredients are already in the pantry.

 

recipe adapted from Nigella Express

  • Sugar - 1/2 cup
  • Golden syrup - 4 tablespoons
  • Baking soda - 1 1/2 teaspoons

- Put the sugar and syrup into a saucepan.



- Stir together to mix. You mustn't stir once the pan's on the heat!!!



- Place the pan on th heat and let the mixture melt and start bubbling. This will take around 3 minutes.



- Off the heat, whick in the baking soda and watch the syrup turn into foam.



- Turn this immediately onto a piece of parchment paper.



- Leave to set and then break it into small pieces.
