HONEY AND CREAM TAFFY RECIPE RECIPE - (4/5)

Provided by DeliciouslyDished

Number Of Ingredients 9

Equipment:
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup cream, preferably grassfed
1 1/2 cups honey
1/8 tsp baking soda
candy thermometer
medium pot
medium baking pan
kitchen scissors

Steps:

  • Grease a medium-sized pan with butter and place in the refrigerator. In a medium-sized pot, combine cream and honey. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit so make sure there is a lot of room at the top, but you need the mixture to be deep enough to get a good reading with your candy thermometer. Cook over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook uncovered without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 280°. Remove from the heat and mix in the baking soda. Pour into your greased dish/baking pan, taking care not to scrape the sides of the pot. Now for the fun part! Wait until it is cool enough to handle, then pick it up with buttered hands and stretch until the taffy becomes a bit lighter and firm ridges form when you pull. Braid taffy into whatever design you like then trim with clean, buttered kitchen scissors.Wrap individually in waxed paper and store in the fridge/freezer.
