ingredients: ( 1 baking sheet)
Brittles:
0.5 dl Brown ale ( I used Newcastle Brown Ale)
2 dl sugar
1 dl corn syrup
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 dl pecans, chopped
6 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
0.5 tsp salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
How to:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine bacon, pecans, salt and cayenne in a bowl and set aside as well.
In a saucepan, combine beer, sugar, and corn syrup until well mixed. Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to 120 C, without stirring. Add in butter and stir constantly until mixture reaches 160 C. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the baking soda (mixture will foam up). Fold in nut and bacon mixture. Pour onto lined baking sheet and spread mixture out evenly.
Let harden (and cool) completely, then break into pieces. Enjoy.
