Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make HONEYCOMB!

[@ohyum]

Thank you for watching our latest video! Don't forget to check out the recipe in the description and let us know how your Sponge Toffee turned out!

[@vadoraid2517]

Mary C .i agree

[@mubarakkaz617]

Oh Yum with Anna Olson can I use Citric Acid instead Cream of Tartare ??

[@Tink1881]

Hi I don't know what went wrong but my honeycomb turned out gooey. My sugar thermometer didn't go up more than 116 Celsius for some reason and the sugar seemed to be dark. I used golden syrup. Is it the same as golden corn syrup?

[@justaman5418]

thanks for that so far the best one i have seen yet and even in pro kitchens

[@nordicmind82]

Step 1: Contacting a chemical retailer to acquire cream of tartar being careful not to admit you are going to put it in food. Step 2: Ask them if they can order in corn syrup, once again being careful not to tell them you would ever serve it to humans. Then cook away!

[@meindt4930]

my personal advice on honeycomb making: Do NOT lick the wooden spoon, it will only taste like pain.

Anna, thank you for including metric measurements in your recipes! I've learned over the years that baking by WEIGHT instead of volume give consistent results every time.

[@pierrefireball2505]

My mother used to do this every Easter. As a kid, it was the best I ever had; of course, I do buy from the stores now. But Anna I am going to try your receipt, thank you so much for reminding me my beautiful loving mother on a few days before Easter this year. My mother died in 2007 from cervical cancer on December 18th. Her ceremony was on December 24th. Nothing to do with this, but your receipt reminded me of her once again and how amazing she always was.

[@foodislife3390]

In New Zealand we call this Hokey Pokey and it’s one of the recipes we learn as children when we start baking. We don’t use corn syrup in it though. It’s also something we put in ice cream, and it’s made into a chocolate coated bar as well which is called a Crunchie. Yum.

[@juno5301]

[@tiffanymarrigold449]

TL;DR: scraping the pan's sides increases the chance the recipe goes wrong. Confectioner here. -Sugar sets in different structures at different temperatures (low temperatures mean the sugar sets softer.) -however, sugar wants to set as a crystal - and if there is a seed crystal, there is a chance it sets in a way you don't want, and you end with a bad texture/colour. Now, the pan isn't a uniform heat. the bottom, which is direct contact to heat, is hotter than the sides which do not have direct contact to heat. There is also, mixed in with that, sugar that has spat up and crystallized on the side where there is less heat. Once she's added the foaming agents, she can't see if there is any seed crystals that could ruin the batch so she doesn't scrape to lessen the risk.

[@hyweltthomas]

After loads of tries of getting this right, I have finally made it! For me, the secret is 4 tbsp syrup, 250 g of sugar and 1.2 tbsp bicarb - no water or baking powder. Put sugar in first, dead low and when melted add syrup - get the measurement right; too much syrup will kill it. Boil a little faster to 140 degrees C without stirring then add bicarb - whisk in and pour. Delish!

I love honeycomb. When I lived in upper California, I would take my son to Great America ( don’t know if it’s called something different now) in Santa Clara area. I’d get seasons passes for us so we went a lot. But one of our stops each time was an old fashioned candy store and honey comb was one of the things they offered and I would buy about once a month. I haven’t had real good honey comb since then but I’m going to try this. It will bring back memories. Now I just need to learn how to make the taffy I use to get at Santa Cruz. These were places of my childhood.

[@SomebodysVincent]

On a side note - having every single thing measured and ready to go is called Mise en Place.

Years later I went to Culinary School meets Community College I learned of its name.

Hi how is your candy now? Have you tried it yet?

[@natetoopi567]

Here in New Zealand we call this Hokey Pokey. It’s quite hard to make and easy to burn and stick

[@darkengine5931]

I've used a method that I find a lot easier, safer, and can actually be done without a thermometer and efficient in large batches. Basically I just caramelize sugar first on its own to gold-amber (I prefer wet method just using some water and sugar since I find the dry method often harder not to leave burned bits stuck on the bottom of the pan), let it cool down and solidify. You can even store the caramelized sugar for long periods in hard-crack form for later use. Then melt the hardened and cooled version slowly over low heat (the temperature will not be nearly as hot as 348+ degrees F). When it's all dissolved and liquidified, add in things thing like syrup/honey, then finally the baking soda and a dash of acid. When using this method, we just add a dash of these additional ingredients since we still want it to solidfy to hard crack, but I can actually taste the ingredients more for some reason in spite of using much less of them. I've compared this way to the normal ways that cook all these ingredients together at once and the end result with my method actually tastes better to me (it is different but I like it better). I can more clearly taste the additional ingredients besides the caramelized sugar like whatever honey or syrup you use, and you don't have to deal with the potential danger of liquid so hot that it's like molten lava fizzing up when you add the baking soda.

[@canadianmonte]

In my experience making caramel corn, the cream of tartar acts more as a balance to the sweetness. The baking soda is the bubble maker.

[@megatronusv2215]

The bubbles are caused by the release of CO2. Table sugar, corn syrup, honey, chocolate and tartaric acid are all weakly acidic while baking soda (NaHCO3) is a weak base. They react and the resulting carbonic acid produced, which is volatile, breaks up into CO2 and H2O vapors which cause your bubbles. So the cream of tartar does help, but only until the reaction is balanced, excess tartar is as you said, just to cut the sugary flavor

[@mosesmanaka8109]

In order to prevent the sponge mixture from collapsing, pour it into an airtight container and once fully risen, seal the container with an airtight lid in order to retain the puffed up texture.

[@splashyotter1033]

[@s0neskim]

You can use golden syrup

[@michelledennett59]

@@maryforbes7502 Yes, if you look at any British Isles recipe for cinder toffee/sponge toffee/honeycomb toffee/etc it will say golden syrup in the recipe. Golden syrup is a by-product of the refining process from either sugar cane or sugar beet into granulated sugar, it has a rich amber colour and a unique taste. Corn syrup is 100% glucose and made from corn starch, naturally amber in colour but can be de-coloured to produce a clear version. Hope this helps 😊

[@rooneye]

Cinder toffee as we brits call it. If anyone here has been to Beamish then they KNOW about cinder toffee! They make it like the OLD days (Obviously, it's Beamish)

[@clarkson221]

Alternatively you could use sift 3.75 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda powder (before heating sugars) . Weigh out 250 grams of golden syrup, 250 grams of caster sugar heat up to 149 degrees Celsius then add the bicarbonate of soda stir quickly and pour into prepared tin and it will be much more aerated.

[@clarkson221]

From my experience anyway.

It's cinder toffee you nd 2 inches of water 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons of bicarb it's that easy you stir the sugar and water and honey bfore you start then swirl the pan once it turns a caramel colour add the bicarb whisk in then put on a sheet pan and leave for ten minutes then bash away into chunks it's fab.

"Sponge Toffee" is the Canadian term for it. When I was growing up, I most commonly saw it referred to as "Cinder Toffee". "Honeycomb" is used more in China, South Africa, and parts of the United States and the United Kingdom. Sometimes they refer to a very slightly different treat, like Korea's Dalgona which is used in Dalgona Coffee, or Cinder Toffee which both refers to this and a more treacle sweet.

I just made this and as a Brit I will tell you this is reminiscent of Violet Crumble or Crunchie is you coat it in chocolate. And although she did omit vanilla I did add a splash along with the honey and it's absolutely divine.

Very cool. Going to check out the channel to see what other goodies may be lurking about. EDIT: Ok, the fact that so many of the videos oddly start with her name is balanced out with the fact that she has "Described" videos which, I imagine, are actually supposed to be for the visually impaired but list as: "This video is presented in described video for the hearing impaired." The effort is absolutely noted & appreciated.

I still remember making this in my science class.

[@kazu2391]

To everyone in the comment section who's mad about the fact that she called them sponge toffee: It's an alternative name for honeycomb toffee. Different cultures have different ways of calling foods, and there's no need to stress about such little things. Stop being childish and don't hate her for this, it's really not her fault.

[@k8lynmae]

Permafrost then she should specify no ?!

[@kazu2391]

@@k8lynmae there's no need for a specification. She says honeycomb in the title, but sponge in the video. You should know what type of candy it is since it's such an unique sweet. One would be helpful, but everyone will end up knowing what it is that she made.

[@yusufwijaya5195]

isnt that just dalgona honeycomb with actual honey?

[@goldwaves]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made this yesterday with your instructions and it turned out to be the kind I get from candy store! Just perfect.

[@anncarroll7354]

What is the difference between sponge toffee and honeycomb?

[@frapo81]

Same thing different country. In the UK rather than the honey and corn syrup mix they will usually use golden syrup which is sometimes hard to get.

[@michelledennett59]

@@frapo81 It is also known as cinder toffee in the British Isles, it's the same toffee that Cadbury's wrapped in chocolate and called Crunchie. British Isles like you say use Golden Syrup instead of Corn Syrup as we can't get corn syrup 😉

Spelling and pronunciation.

[@antontalbot9148]

Smart people call it honeycomb. Stupid people don't understand what honey comb is, they need a description of it. Like pavement and side walk. They don't know what to do with a 'pavement' but side walk is nice and easy

[@Dakkapow]

@@antontalbot9148 honeycomb is the name of two different things though, maybe some people call the confectionery "sponge toffee" or "cinder toffee" to distinguish it from the honeycomb bees make...

I'm from Wisconsin and we call it angel food and it's covered in chocolate and you can usually only buy it around Christmas time.
