Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Have ready a marble slab or a large baking sheet lined with buttered parchment paper or a silicone liner and set on a wire rack. Combine in a large heavy saucepan: 1 ½ cups granulated white sugar; ¾ cup light corn syrup; 4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter, softened
-
Step 2.
Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Wash down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in warm water. Increase the heat to medium-high, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook, without stirring, to 330°F, the light-caramel stage.

Step 3.
Remove from the heat and quickly stir in: 2 cups toasted sesame seeds; 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
-
Step 4.
Carefully pour the mixture out onto the slab or baking sheet. Place a second silicone liner or piece of generously buttered parchment paper on top of the brittle. Cover your hands with oven mitts and press the brittle into a thin, even layer. Let cool completely. Break the brittle into pieces. Store between layers of wax or parchment paper in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.
