[Sca-cooks] "Risen Sweet"

[Johnna Holloway]

Or a nougat which can still be egg whites and honey.

Classic two step Divinity requires stiffly beaten egg whites and is generally a two step process of cooking the sugar syrup to one stage, pouring half into the egg whites while continuing to beat them,  and then cooking the remaining syrup to a higher stage. Add that cooked syrup then to the sugar/egg white mixture. Drop from a spoon or scoop.

Honeycomb or honey sponge candy, I think, is probably this recipe. Sugar, honey, water but no eggs.
