Ingredients for - Sesame Brittle
How to cook deliciously - Sesame Brittle
1. Stage
Heat sugar, honey, water, salt, nutmeg Put the sugar, honey, salt, nutmeg, and water into a small (1 1/2 quart), thick-bottomed saucepan. Heat on medium heat and stir until a smooth slurry is formed.
2. Stage
Stir in the raw sesame seeds
3. Stage
Cook the sesame seed mixture Cook the sesame mixture, stirring often, until the mixture turns an amber caramel color, about 5 to 10 minutes. If you have a candy thermometer, the temp should be 300°F. At this point, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the butter. Once the butter has completely melted into the mixture, stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam up a bit after you stir in the baking soda, as the baking soda reacts with the acid from the caramelization of the sugar.
4. Stage
Pour the mixture out onto a Silpat-lined baking sheet If you don't have Silpat, no worries, pour directly onto a buttered metal baking sheet and use a metal spatula to separate brittle from the pan once cooled.
5. Stage
Once completely cooled and hardened (about 15-20 minutes), break into pieces
