Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups whole-wheat matzo farfel
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together farfel, pistachios, and cayenne pepper; set aside.
  • Place sugar and salt in a medium saucepan; add 1/3 cup water and mix to thoroughly dampen. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until medium amber in color, swirling and brushing down sides of saucepan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystallization. Carefully add butter (mixture will bubble up). Stir until melted and well combined.
  • Working quickly, add farfel mixture and stir to combine. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet; using an offset spatula, spread into a very thin layer. Let cool completely. Break brittle into pieces before serving.
