How to Make Sesame Brittle

Ingredients :

·         3/4 cup sugar

·         1/4 cup honey

·         2 teaspoons butter

·         1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

·         Pinch of salt

·         1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

·         1 Tbsp water

·         1 cup raw sesame seeds

·         1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Method !:(In Microwave Oven):

Sprinkle sesame seed in ungreased substantial skillet. Cook over medium-low warmth 5 to 7 minutes, mixing as often as possible until searing starts, at that point mixing continually until brilliant dark colored. Expel from warm.

Splash 15x10x1-inch dish with cooking shower. In 2-quart microwavable bowl, mix together sugar, corn syrup and salt. Microwave revealed on High 4 minutes or until percolating. Blend in margarine and toasted sesame seed. Microwave revealed on High 3 to 5 minutes, mixing each moment, until brilliant darker.

Mix in vanilla and heating pop (blend will froth). Instantly empty blend into container; spread with gently lubed spatula to 1/4-inch thickness. Cool totally, around 30 minutes. Break into 1/2-inch pieces.

Method 2:

1 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 Stir in the raw sesame seeds.

3 Cook the sesame seed 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 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 Once completely cooled and hardened (about 15-20 minutes), break into pieces.
