How to Make Sesame Candy
- Rinse 1 cup of sesame seeds thoroughly under cold water, removing any debris. Drain well and set aside.
- Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. A drop of water should bounce around the skillet when it's hot enough.
- Add the drained sesame seeds to the hot skillet. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Dry-roast the seeds, stirring frequently, until they turn light brown – approximately 2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon white vinegar.
- Stir constantly with a wooden spoon over medium-high heat until the sugar, butter, milk, and vinegar are completely dissolved.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the light crack stage (265-285°F on a candy thermometer).
- Remove from heat immediately and quickly stir in the roasted sesame seeds.
- Pour the hot candy mixture into a greased 11x2-inch Pyrex baking dish.
- Score the candy into squares while it's still warm using a sharp knife. Allow to cool completely before breaking into individual pieces.
