You need sugar, some golden syrup/ corn syrup/ glucose and baking soda to whip up this golden magic. The thermal decomposition of the baking soda releases carbon dioxide. The lattice structure is formed while the sugar is liquid, then the toffee sets hard.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 3 tbsp of golden syrup
- 1 1/2 tsp of baking soda
- Measure the baking soda and sift it before you start the recipe. you surly do not want clumps of baking soapy soda in your toffee.
- Put the sugar and syrup in a saucepan, a saucepan which larger as the syrup sizzles up almost thrice the volume at the last stage. Stir the syrup and sugar just once after you place it on the gas stove.
- The mixture first melts, then starts turning gooey and then starts bubbling and turning to golden amber color. It took me about 2 min for that stage to reach. Do not stir the mixture at all. If you feel teh edges are turning brown you can swirl the pan. Stirring is not recommended, but swirling is permitted... Now that's how Nigella puts it and I could'nt resist jotting it down.
- Now switch off the heat and add the baking soda and whisk it up and you will see the mixture foaming up and forming gold cloud. Pour this mixture on a parchement paper or silicon mat.
- Leave to rest for 15-20 min allowing the candy to harden.
