Bonfire toffee
HB-12879 · Hand-built original · British
A jaw-breaking British treacle toffee of black treacle, golden syrup and brown sugar, boiled to hard crack and broken into shards.
Main ingredient: syrup
Ingredients
- 3 oz golden syrup
- 3 oz black treacle
- 6 oz light soft brown sugar
- 3 oz butter
- 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Method
- Line a 6 x 8-inch baking tray with non-stick baking parchment.
- Put the golden syrup, black treacle, brown sugar, butter and cream of tartar in a deep, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
- Raise the heat and boil the mixture fast until it reaches 285°F on a candy thermometer, then pour it carefully into the lined tray.
- When the toffee is cool enough to handle but still elastic, about 15 to 20 minutes, score it into pieces with an oiled knife; once completely cold, break along the scored lines, or simply break the cold slab into shards.
- Store the toffee in an airtight container with baking parchment between the layers so humidity does not soften and stick it together.
