Dalgona Candy

• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 3 pinches bicarbonate of soda

• Cut out 2 square pieces of baking parchment paper and oil them.

• Place the sugar in a small saucepan over a low heat and allow it to melt slowly. Use a chopstick to stir it once it starts to melt. Take your time to let the sugar melt, stirring occasionally, not constantly.

• Be careful not to touch the sugar as it will give you a nasty burn! When the sugar starts to change colour to a light caramel, take it off the heat and continue to stir, using the residual heat to melt the remaining lumps.

• Once the caramel is smooth, add the bicarbonate soda, just a pinch, and stir continuously as it bubbles up. Once the honeycomb has settled into a foam-like consistency, pour a 3cm ‘dollop’ on the baking parchment paper square. Wait a few seconds for the candy to cool before you cover it with another piece of oiled parchment paper.

• Now use any flat, circular surface (we used a saucepan, 5cm diameter) to press on the candy to make a flat circle. Wait another few seconds before lifting the parchment paper off the candy and using a cookie cutter to press out a shape.

• Scrape the candy off the base parchment paper with a spatula and enjoy the challenge!
