1 lb raw sugar (also known as demarara sugar, turbinado sugar, natural brown or light brown sugar)
3/4 cup of water
a pinch of cream of tartar OR 1tsp of white vinegar
4 oz butter
4 tbsp of cream

Steps:

Cover a baking tray with foil and spray lightly with cooking oil (not olive oil, it will make it taste funky).
Heat the sugar and water over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and bring to the boil.
Add a pinch of cream of tartar or a teaspoon of white vinegar and stir in.
Heat until it reaches hard crack stage, which is 150 degrees C or 302 degrees F.
When it reaches hard crack stage add the butter and cream and stir in.
Pour quickly into your tray. I was a bit slow in the video, which is why there is a grainy look on top where it had started to cool down.
Leave until it starts to set and score some lines in it where you want to break it later.
Leave overnight to cool, break into squares and enjoy!
