YUM!! cinder toffee

[loocyloo]

DS came home from school and had been talking about cinder toffee ...

i knew i had a recipe somewhere and that is was simple, but i'd never made it ...

wow! its soooo easy and soooo yummy ( and pretty amazing to watch! )

(we've already made 2 lots!)

Cinder toffee

Ingredients
5 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Method
1. Line a small baking tray with baking parchment.
2. Place the sugar and syrup in a medium sized saucepan.
3. Place on hob. Without stirring, allow the mixture to melt, just shake the saucepan a little to ensure it has mixed together.
4. The mix will bubble up and when it has turned a deep golden colour drop a tiny bit into a glass of water, if it goes into a firm ball, it is ready.
5. Quickly whisk in the bicarbonate of soda - this will cause the toffee to bubble up in an alarming fashion!
6. Immediately pour the bubbling toffee into the lined baking tray and allow to cool.
