Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup pecans

Instructions

Prepare an oven tray, lined with baking paper.

Combine the raw sugar and water in a small saucepan and dissolve the sugar over a medium heat. Once dissolved bring to a rapid simmer and cook until sugar has caramelized to a deep golden colour. Remove from the heat.

Using a skewer dip each pecan into the toffee and drain. Carefully place onto the lined tray and allow to set. Use as required.

Cook's Notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.
