Ingredients

  • 100 g (4 oz) caster sugar

Method

Cover the base of the pan with the sugar and heat gently.

Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar caramelizes and is completely transparent.

Take care not to overcook it, as this produces a bitter taste.

Pour straight on to a marble slab or silicone mat, quickly making it into the desired shape before it sets.
