My grandfather taught me how to make this. I am actually not a lover of liquorice however, my family like this.


Ingredients (makes 1 Container)

  • 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Dark corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup Blackstrap molasses
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Anise extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Black food colouring

Method

  1. Line a glass 8″-square baking dish with baking paper.
  2. Bring butter, sugar, syrup, milk, molasses, and salt to a boil over high heat in a large saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer until temperature reaches 265°
  3. Remove from heat and stir in flour, extract and colouring, pour into pan. Chill until firm, 30–45 minutes.
  4. Invert onto a cutting board, peel off paper, and cut into ¼”-thick ropes.
  5. Place on baking sheets, let sit for 1 plus hours or until set. Store between paper in an airtight container.

Notes

You can twist liquorice if desired.

  • This sounds wonderful, but I think I’ll buy mine as even that is usually too much for one person. Thanks so much for sharing – seems easy to do once you have all the ingredients.

  • Is there an Australian version of this recipe? For starters, we don’t have “dark corn syrup” here. Not sure about Blackstrap molasses or Kosher salt either.
