How To Make irish yellow man
-
1Melt the butter in a saucepan, and then add the sugar, golden syrup, water and vinegar.
-
2Stir until all the ingredients are melted, then boil until the mixture reaches the ‘hard crack’ stage 290 degrees F.
-
3This can be tested by dropping a little of the mixture into cold water, leaving for a moment, and then picking it up between the finger and thumb. When the finger and thumb are separated, the thread formed between them should break sharply.
-
4Stir in the bicarbonate of soda, when the mixture foams up pour onto a greased, heatproof tray, turning in the edges with a palette knife.
-
5When cool enough to handle, pull with buttered hands until pale in color.
-
6When completely hardened, break into rough pieces.
