Golden syrup popcorn honeycomb shards
American 10 Mins Prep · 25 Mins Cook
- Spread the popcorn on a large 30cm x 42cm lightly greased shallow roasting tray lined with non-stick baking paper and set aside.
- Add 4 tsp of water to a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatine over and allow to soak for 5 minutes. Measure out 1 tbsp.
- Combine the sugar, glucose, 200ml water and golden syrup in a large saucepan over a low heat, allowing the sugar to melt slowly until completely dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook to 150°C on a sugar thermometer.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool, without disturbing it, for 5 minutes.
- Working quickly, add the 1 tbsp of soaked gelatine and stir well to incorporate fully.
- Quickly stir in the sifted bicarbonate of soda, as the mixture rises, immediately pour over the popcorn in the prepared tin.
- Allow to cool for at least 2 hours (if it’s a hot day, cool it in the fridge to prevent it from collapsing).
- Break or cut into pieces and serve.
- Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 3 days.
