What you need:
- 200g (8oz) Caster sugar
- 5 tablespoons Golden Syrup
- 2 teaspoons Bicarbonate of Soda
- Square baking tray (25cm x 25 cm; 10” x 10”)
- Greaseproof paper
What you do:
- Line the baking tray with greaseproof paper greased both sides
- Pour the sugar and syrup into a deep saucepan
- Stir and heat gently until the sugar dissolves
- Turn the heat up until the mixture bubbles to an amber colour
- Add the bicarbonate and stir quickly; it will foam and grow
- Pour the mixture into the baking tray
- Let it cool for two hours
- Break it – with a rolling pin or a karate chop!
