Ingredients

2 tablespoons - sugar white
1 pinch - baking soda

Instructions

Place 2 tbsp of white sugar in the stainless steel ladle.
Hold the ladle over heat source.
Stir the sugar with the disposable chopstick.
As the sugar melts, continue scraping the crystalizing candy into the middle of the ladle.
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.
Keep stirring the sugar until it has all melted and caramelized into a light brown color.
Add a tiny pinch of baking soda (literally pinch the baking soda between your thumb and forefinger and add to the ladle).
Keep stirring until the mixture slightly foams and turns an opaque light tan color.
Pour the candy onto the silpat silicone mat ( You can also use parchment paper).
Wait for 5 seconds, and then press your flat metal disc onto the candy to flatten it.
Immediately press your shape of choice into the candy.
Wait until the candy has thoroughly cooled.
Try to break off the outer candy, or scrape with a needle, until the inner shape is released in one piece.
