Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and golden syrup over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved.
-
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to wash down the sides of the pan to prevent crystallization.
-
Continue boiling without stirring until the mixture reaches a rich amber color, about 10-12 minutes.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the butter until fully melted and incorporated.
-
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up vigorously.
-
Return the pan to low heat and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the caramel has thickened slightly.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
-
Pour the caramel into a parchment paper-lined baking dish and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or until set.
-
Once the caramel has set, use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar to prevent sticking.
-
Serve your homemade Great British Bake Off candies on a decorative platter or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
