Hi Odo

Master B says it expands in the most amazing fashion when it comes out of the oven.

Any chance of the recipe?



Alex.

Ah, he’s told you about that has he?

Honeycomb

Boil 200g sugar in 4tbs golden syrup until it is the right colour

Then add 1 tbs bicarb and pour into a baking tin or similar lined with baking parchment.


It grows at an alarming rate so watch the floor. I think the recipe may be wrong and that only a teaspoon of bicarb should be added. I have yet to experiment with it again though, although I’m very tempted to have another play now you’ve reminded me about it.

Cheers matey.

Sorry about the spelling.

I'll have a go.



Alex.

....oh, so you don't put it in the oven then?

Don't worry, I can't spell to save my life so I wouldn't have noticed.

No, I think B may have been confused by the fact that in a desperate attempt to prevent the stuff going all over the floor I bunged the rapidly overflowing tin onto the oven door whilst I opened the back door to get the stuff outside.

I'm sure with less bicarb it'll work much better.
