Hokey Pokey
This is a favorite Kiwi recipe for a delicious sweet treat!. In the U!.S!. we call it peanut brittle as we add about a cups worth of raw peanuts when the baking soda is added!. You can try that as well but in New Zealand we like it just fine without the peanuts!.
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
(or corn syrup, although it won't be true hokey pokey!.!.!. look in specialty shops for real golden syrup)
1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
Directions:
Bring sugar and golden syrup to the boil slowly in a large heavy saucepan, stirring all the time as it will burn easily!.
After it starts to foam up, simmer gently over a very low heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and still watching it carefully!.
Remove from heat and add baking soda quickly until it foams up and pour at once into a greased pan or onto a piece of aluminium foil with the edges turned up!.
Break it into bits when cold and store in air-tight jars!.
TIP -Be sure to save all the crumbles so that you can top your ice cream with them to make Hokey Pokey Ice-cream!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
