Ingredients

▢ 250 g Corn Syrup or Golden Syrup
▢ 250 g Granulated White Sugar
▢ 1¼ tablespoon Bicarbonate of Soda

Instructions

Line a 8 x 8 inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup (or golden syrup) with the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently.
Stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil for 5–7 minutes, until it reaches 300°F (150°C) and turns a rich golden color. Remove from the heat, then swiftly whisk in the bicarbonate of soda until it’s fully combined and foamy.
Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and do not spread it. Let the honeycomb cool completely without disturbing it at room temperature. This will take about 2 hours.
Once hardened, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Whisk Fast Once the Soda Goes in: I stir quickly but just enough to mix; it foams up in seconds, and you’ve got to pour right away.

Leave it Alone to Cool: I don’t touch or move the tray for 2 hours. Letting it sit untouched keeps the honeycomb super airy.

Don’t Spread the Mixture: I pour it straight into the tray and let it settle naturally; it keeps the bubbles big and the texture light.
