Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Golden syrup
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with a neutral oil. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and golden syrup.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently until the sugar has dissolved. Avoid stirring once the mixture starts to bubble, as this can crystallize the sugar.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, or until it turns an amber caramel color. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately whisk in the baking soda. Be prepared for the mixture to foam up rapidly.

Step 6

Quickly pour the foamy mixture into the prepared baking tray, spreading it out gently if necessary. Do not press or flatten it, as this will deflate the airy texture.

Step 7

Allow the honeycomb to cool and set completely at room temperature, which should take approximately 30-60 minutes.

Step 8

Once hardened, break the honeycomb into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.

Step 9

Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its crispness. Enjoy as a sweet treat or crumble over ice cream for added crunch.
