Ingredients

  • 1 oz. butter
  • 6 oz. sugar
  • 2 tablespoons

Method

Put the butter, sugar, syrup and water into a large saucepan with a heavy base and stir over gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved. Boil steadily to 280°F., or until mixture forms a very firm ball when you drop a little into cold water. Remove from heat, stir in the vinegar and then the bicarbonate of soda. The mixture will rise considerably in the pan, giving the ‘honeycomb’ texture. Pour
