Walnut Brittle
Ingredients Yield: 250g (8oz)
- 110g (1/2c+1Tbsp) Granulated Sugar
- 80g (1/4c) Corn Syrup
- 45ml (3Tbsp) Water
- 80g (3/4c) Walnuts, or preferred nut
- 6g (1tsp) Butter
- 2ml(1/2tsp) Vanilla Extract
- 1g (1/4tsp) Baking Soda
Instructions
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a pot on medium high heat.
- Bring to a boil and cook until it reaches 120 degrees Celsius. (If you do not have a thermometer a good way to tell if it reached temperature is to watch the bubbles. Once all the water has evaporated the bubbles get larger than if there was water left. Also there is a slight browning that will occur).
- While waiting for it to reach temperature prepare a baking sheet with a silicone mat on top.
- One it has reached temperature, add in nuts and butter and bring up to 150 degrees Celsius. Constantly stir at this stage. (To tell if it reached temperature it should have a nice golden brown colour throughout and a caramelized aroma without any smell of burnt sugar).
- Once up to temperature stir in vanilla and baking soda.
- Dump the sugar mixture onto silicone mat and spread out with a greased spatula.
- Once the mixture has cooled enough that you can handle it, pull and stretch the brittle to make a finer texture candy.
- Break into pieces as it cools and store in an airtight container!
