    Cashew Cinnamon Brittle

    Source of Recipe

    Recipe from Butter Sugar Flour Eggs, by Gale Gand.

    List of Ingredients

    Vegetable oil
    1/2 cup water
    2 cups sugar
    1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
    1 cup light corn syrup
    2 tsp. cinnamon
    2 Tblsp. unsalted butter
    2 cups roasted, salted cashew nuts (if using unsalted cashew nuts, add 1/8 tsp. salt with the sugar)
    1 tsp. baking soda

    Recipe

    Using vegetable oil, generously oil a sheet pan (preferably one with sides), at least 11- x 17-inches.

    In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cream of tartar and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat. Using a candy thermometer to test it, boil the mixture until it reaches 350 degrees, or is amber-colored. Remove from the heat and, working quickly, whisk in the cinnamon. Whisk in the butter, cashews, and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the oiled pan and spread it out a
    bit with a wooden spoon, to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Don’t spread it too thinly. Let harden, uncovered, in a cool place, 30 to 45 minutes. (To wash the saucepan, soak it overnight.) Using your hands, break the brittle into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
