Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crunchy Sesame Brittle.
Step 1
Begin by preparing your baking sheet, lining it with a silicone mat or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a sturdy saucepan, mix together white sugar, honey, and water.
Step 3
Place it over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture transforms into a smooth slurry, which should take around three minutes.
Step 4
Next, introduce the raw sesame seeds to the saucepan, stirring well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture achieves a deep amber-caramel hue, which will take about five to ten minutes.
Step 6
Keep an eye on the temperature; it should reach 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer.
Step 7
Once the perfect color is achieved, remove the saucepan from the heat and blend in the butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 8
Carefully pour the hot mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to create a delightful layer.
Step 9
Allow the brittle to cool and harden for 15 to 20 minutes before breaking it into delicious pieces.
Step 10
Enjoy the sweet, nutty aroma as it fills your kitchen, a perfect treat for sharing or savoring on your own.
