Well today i had a go at the Nigella Lawson's honeycomb recipe it seemed easy enough to make but sadly it didn't set, was gooey (i even tried to harden it in the fridge but to no avail)
Don't know what i did wrong
Does anyone know a honeycomb recipe that is easy to make & more to the point easily sets hard ??
Kristy ... LOL, i don't know which of us had it worse as the flavour of mine tasted nice (not mouth full of bi-carb) BUT at least yours was crunchy on the inside , ... as mine wasn't !!
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Method:
Place sugar, golden syrup and water in a heavy saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and then boil for seven minutes, remove from the heat and quickly add the bicarbonate of soda which will at this point make the mixture will froth dramatically. Stir quickly and pour into a greased 28x18cm lamington tin.
After 20 minutes and when the mixture is cool, mark into pieces. When cold, break into pieces and wrap in cellophane ready for use.
I've never made this before so not sure how it will go. I have another recipe that uses corn syrup too.
Smiles - i just tried to make that one, it needs a few adjustments to the recipe
No need to put it in a tin, just pour it onto greeseproof paper (like Nigella) - it doesnt make a huge amount.
Dont boil it for 7 mins, it will burn. I set a timer and mine bubbled for 6 mins on med heat before i smelt it had gone too far, i still made it and it set well but tastes burnt. Maybe do a rapid simmer for 5 mins ????
That's maybe what happened with our other recipe, it wasnt cooked for long enough, that why it didnt set properly.
Honeycomb Recipes please !!!!!
