Traditional Cinder Toffee

You will need:

A heavy based pan
Golden Treacle
1kg of granulated sugar
1-1/2 pints of water
Bicarbonate of soda
3 medium sized baking tins
A wooden spoon
A sugar thermometer

Add the sugar and water to the pan, bring to the boil, gently stirring. Meanwhile take your three baking tins and lightly sprinkle the bases with bicarbonate of soda. Next add four tablespoons of golden treacle to the pan and heat to around 150°C. Finally pour equal amounts of the syrup into each tin and stir lightly for a few seconds. Leave the baking tins in a cool place over night. Next morning you should have a well risen honeycombed Cinder toffee.
