Honeycomb recipe | Good Food

butter
for the pan
1 cup granulated sugar
5 tbsp light corn syrup
2 tsp baking soda

Method

step 1
Butter an 8in square tin and set it on a heatproof surface. Stir the sugar and syrup together in a deep pan over a low heat until the sugar has melted. Try not to let the mixture bubble until the sugar has dissolved.
step 2
Once completely melted, turn up the heat a little and simmer until you have an amber-colored caramel (this won’t take long). Then, as quickly as you can, turn off the heat, tip in the baking soda and beat in with a wooden spoon until it has all disappeared and the mixture is foaming. Scrape into the pan immediately – be careful, as the mixture will be very hot.
step 3
The mixture will continue bubbling in the pan – 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.
