INGREDIENTS
  • 250 grams / 1/2 pounds sugar
  • 1 tablespoon golden syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 75 milliliters / 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon warm water

METHOD
Put the sugar, syrup, cream of tartar into a heavy pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Boil without stirring until a little of the mixture forms hard, brittle threads when tested in cold water (154C/309F on a sugar thermometer). Dissolve bicarbonate of soda in the tin of warm water and pour into the toffee which will froth up. Stir well and pour into a shallow greased tin. Break into pieces when cold. Wrap in greaseproof paper and store in an airtight tin.

I would love to try this recipe, but what is golden syrup? Is it a sugar & water syrup (boiled) or something like maple syrup? Could I substitute agave or maple for it? Just curious. The recipe sounds delicious, though!

Golden syrup is often used as a honey replacement. You can probably get away with using corn syrup as a replacement. Let us know how it turns out!
