Cook modePrevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 cup raw sesame seeds
• 2 tsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

1. Line a 9" x 13" baking dish (or 1/2 sheet pan) with a sheet of parchment paper or a silpat baking mat. Set aside.
2. Place sugar, honey, and water in an 8” nonstick skillet. Heat over low heat until melted and starting to gently bubble. Stir continuously with a spatula and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add the sesame seeds and stir to combine. Increase the heat and bring back to a simmer. You want it to be just bubbling, not a full boil.
4. Stirring frequently, cook for 7-9 minutes until the brittle has a dark golden color.
5. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Pour into a thin layer into the silpat mat or parchment paper. Use the spatula to spread the brittle into an even layer. Try not to get the brittle on the dish.
6. Cool at room temperature and break into pieces.
7. Store in an airtight container between layers of wax paper.

Notes

• You can use a candy thermometer to determine when to stop cooking the brittle. Cook until it reaches 290 - 300 degrees F.
