HOKEY POKEY



Hokey Pokey image

I was going to say that this isn't as fun as it sounds, but then I reconsidered. Hokey pokey is the Cornish term for honeycomb, and is wonderful eaten in golden shards or crumbled into the best vanilla ice cream. I include it here as it is the perfect present to take to a dinner party. Better than flowers, as they need to be put into a vase, better than chocolate, which people tend to smile politely at, but put away in a drawer. I've found no one can resist a bit of hokey pokey. The quantities I've specified don't make an awful lot - enough to fill a little tin 12 cm diameter and 6 cm deep / 4 and a half inches diameter and 2 and a half inches deep -but any more and you'd be sued by your dentist.

Time 38m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Put the sugar and syrup into a saucepan and stir together to mix. You can't stir once the pan's on the heat, though.
  • Place the pan on the heat and let the mixture first melt and then turn to goo and then a bubbling mass the color of maple syrup - this will take 3 minutes or so.
  • Off the heat, whisk in the baking soda and watch the syrup turn into a whooshing cloud of aerated pale gold. Turn this immediately onto a piece of baking parchment or greased foil.
  • Leave until set and then bash at it, so that it splinters into many glinting pieces.

HONEYCOMB CANDY - AKA HOKEY-POKEY OR SPONGE CANDY



Honeycomb Candy - Aka Hokey-Pokey or Sponge Candy image

A response to a recipe request, here's a delicious old fashioned treat! Requires a candy thermometer. Best if you've made candy previous to using this recipe, as this one can be a little daunting, but hey, if you're adventurous have a go at it! ;)

Categories     Candy

Time 20m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons baking soda, finely sifted
chocolate, for coating (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water, and using a wooden spoon, stir constantly over low heat until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Put candy thermometer into the mixture to monitor temperature, increase the heat and boil mixture to exactly 270 degrees F (132C).
  • Reduce heat to as low as possible and maintain the temperature 270F for exactly 15 minutes.
  • It is very important that the temperature of the mixture does not fluctuate; if the temperature begins to rise, remove the pan from heat occasionally to reduce the heat.
  • After the temperature has been maintained for 15 minutes, remove the pan from heat, take out the thermometer, and allow the bubbles to subside.
  • Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in finely sifted baking soda.
  • Immediately and quickly pour the mixture into a large oiled baking dish.
  • (Please note, important: the pouring step requires strength and you'll be handling extremely hot liquids; if you're not strong and agile enough you might want to leave that step to a strong and able assistant.) When candy has completely cooled, remove from pan and break into pieces.
  • Many lovers of honeycomb candy like to coat the pieces in chocolate- you can dunk the pieces into melted chocolate if you like.

A simple New Zealand candy/sweet. Golden Syrup is becoming easier to find in the US. I can find it in the British section and recently found it in the baking aisle. If you cannot find it, you may sub 2 parts light corn syrup to 1 part honey.
