Cinder Toffee

This recipe for Cinder Toffee would have been popular with children before sweets/candies were readily available in the shops.

It probably originates from the North of England and the name 'cinder' comes from the appearance of the toffee which does look like a burnt out piece of coal i.e. a cinder.

This sort of toffee is now more commonly called 'honeycomb'.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 pint water
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda

Method

1) Boil sugar and water for about 20 minutes.

2) Have a deep bowl of cold water ready.

3) Take the toffee from the heat, quickly add the bicarbonate of soda (the toffee will rise up).

4) Then pour the toffee into the cold water.

5) When cold put onto a plate and eat.
