Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups Granulated sugar
1/3 cup Water
1/4 cup Liquid honey
1/4 teaspoon Lemon juice
1 1/3 cup Sesame seeds, roasted
1 pinch Salt

Steps:

  • In heavy saucepan, stir together sugar, water, honey and lemon juice. Bring to boil over medium heat; cook, without stirring but brushing down side of pan with pastry brush dipped in cold water, until dark amber colour and candy thermometer reaches 310°F (155°C), 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in sesame seeds and salt. Immediately pour onto greased baking sheet, spreading with greased spatula.
  • Using greased knife, score into 32 squares; score each square diagonally in half.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sesame seeds. This will ensure that your snaps have a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Toast the sesame seeds before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If it gets too dark, it will taste bitter.
  • Work quickly when you are shaping the snaps. The sugar mixture will start to harden as it cools, so you need to work quickly to get them into the desired shape.
  • Let the snaps cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Sesame snaps are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these crispy, flavorful cookies that will be sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet snack, give sesame snaps a try!
