List of Ingredients
Makes 1/2 cup
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons light corn syrup
6 tablespoons water
3/4 cup salted pistachios
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
Recipe
1. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable-oil cooking spray, wiping off any excess with a paper towel; set aside. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir to combine. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Uncover, reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook without stirring until the sugar mixture reaches 295° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat.
2. Stir in 3/4 cup pistachios, the butter, vanilla, and baking soda. Return to heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 300° on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, and pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Working quickly, spread mixture. Set aside to cool.
3. Break brittle into small pieces. Place in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Process until powdery.
