Ingredients
Instructions
Melt the Sugar
- Step 1
Place 2 tbsp of white sugar in the stainless steel ladle.
- Step 2
Hold the ladle over heat source.
- Step 3
Stir the sugar with the disposable chopstick.
- Step 4
As the sugar melts, continue scraping the crystalizing candy into the middle of the ladle.
- Step 5
As the sugar is melting, move the ladle back and forth in and out of the heat source, so that the sugar does not burn.
- Step 6
Keep stirring the sugar until it has all melted and caramelized into a light brown color.
- Step 7
Add a tiny pinch of baking soda (literally pinch the baking soda between your thumb and forefinger and add to the ladle).
- Step 8
Keep stirring until the mixture slightly foams and turns an opaque light tan color.
Form the Candy
- Step 9
Pour the candy onto the silpat silicone mat ( You can also use parchment paper).
- Step 10
Wait for 5 seconds, and then press your flat metal disc onto the candy to flatten it.
Emboss the Candy with a Shape
- Step 11
Immediately press your shape of choice into the candy.
- Step 12
Wait until the candy has thoroughly cooled.
- Step 13
Try to break off the outer candy, or scrape with a needle, until the inner shape is released in one piece.
