Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Line a baking tray with parchment paper and brush it lightly with oil. Oil a spatula or a small rolling pin as well.

2. 2

   Toast the seeds in a dry, wide frying pan over medium heat, stirring, until golden and fragrant, 4-5 min. Tip them into a bowl straight away so they do not keep browning.

3. 3

   Put the honey, sugar, water and lemon juice in a heavy pan over medium-low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.

4. 4

   Boil the honey mixture until it turns deep amber and a drop sets hard in cold water, 6-8 min (about 150 °C or 300 °F on a sugar thermometer).

5. 5

   Add the seeds and stir for 30 seconds until every seed is coated.

6. 6

   Scrape the mixture onto the tray at once. Press and roll it flat with the oiled spatula to a thickness of about 1 cm (1/2 in).

7. 7

   Wait 5 min, then score the slab with an oiled knife into bars about 3 x 6 cm (1 x 2 1/2 in).

8. 8

   Cool completely, about 30 min, then break along the lines. Store in an airtight container.
