Baking Basics: Simple Syrup
Simple syrup is one of those things that I keep around the house at all times because of just how handy it can be.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Combine water and sugar in a heavy bottomed sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves and liquid becomes clear.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove from heat and let cool.
Notes
Simple syrup can be made plain, or you can add flavors like herbs or ginger by steeping those ingredients in the hot syrup and then straining the liquid once it cools.
