Method

  1. Step 1

    Line a deep baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Place caster sugar (300 g) and golden syrup (150 g) into a saucepan.

  3. Step 3

    Place over a medium heat until you get a golden brown caramel.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the bicarbonate of soda (2½ tsp) and whisk in. The mix will froth up a lot. Please take care.

  5. Step 5

    Pour honeycomb into the lined baking tray and leave to cool until set. Break into pieces.

Questions people ask

How much does this make?

The original recipe did not state a yield, so nothing has been invented for it. The scale control on the recipe card multiplies the quantities instead, which is the honest version of the same thing.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.

Is it vegan?

Yes, as written. Check the labels on anything shop-bought, which is where animal products tend to hide.
