Ingredients
Cooking Oil (to brush the parchment paper) | |
2 tbsp Sugar | |
⅛ tsp Baking Soda |
Instructions
- Place 2 pieces of parchment paper on a baking tray & lightly brush them with a bit of oil. Set aside.
- Put 2 tbsp sugar into a stainless steel ladle. Hold the ladle over a gas stove on low to medium low heat. Stir the sugar using a wooden chopstick, swirling constantly for about 3 - 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves into a light golden syrup. Be careful not to place it too close to the fire to avoid burning the sugar.
- Once the sugar has melted, pull the ladle away from the heat & add in ⅛ teaspoon of baking soda and stir vigorously until the baking soda has dissolved & the mixture turns into a light caramel colour.
- Bring the ladle back to the heat & continue stirring for about 5 seconds to let the mixture puff a bit. Immediately remove from the heat & pour the mixture onto one of the oiled parchment paper prepared earlier.
- Let the mixture cool for 25 seconds & then place the other parchment paper, oiled side down, on top of the mixture. Place a small pot or any other utensil with a flat bottom on top of it & gently press down for 3 - 5 seconds to flatten the candy.
- Remove the pot & parchment paper & immediately stamp the candy with a cookie cutter firmly but not all the way through. Promptly remove the cutter & let the candy cool completely.
