Preparation
- Weigh out the sugar and measure out the syrup
- Mix them together in the pan and turn on the heat
- Add greaseproof paper to baking tray and grease with butter
- Check the temperature of mixture regularly. It's exceptionally important it gets hot enough
- Turn off the heat when the mix reaches 150C. It's dangerously hot so be careful
- Add the bicarb of soda and whisk
- Quickly pour the mixture onto the baking tray, whilst not fettling it (it will sink if you're not careful)
- Leave to cool for 20mins then smash it up and store in an airtight box as it's hygroscopic and will go soft if left exposed
