Pé de moleque de gergelim preto

Ingredientes

• 4 oz water (1/2 cup)
• 16 oz granulated sugar (2 cups)
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 5 1/2 oz light corn syrup (1 cup)
• 1 oz unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup black sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon table salt

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. You can also butter the pan if you don't have a baking mat or parchment.

2. 2

   Combine 4 oz water, 16 oz granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar and 5 ½ oz light corn syrup in a heavy saucepan. Stir the mixture until it begins to boil. Once the mixture starts boiling do not stir. Cook the sugar until it becomes a golden caramel color. If using a candy or probe thermometer set the temperature to 350 °F.

3. 3

   Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in 1 oz unsalted butter, ¾ cup black sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon baking soda and ⅛ teaspoon table salt. Pour the mixture onto the prepared pan and spread it to an even layer. Set the brittle aside to cool completely and harden, about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Peel the sheet of brittle off the pan and set it back down. Use a heavy meat tenderizer or other heavy tool to crack the sheet into shards.

5. 5

   Store in a covered container at room temperature.
