Method
- Grease a tray or line it with banana leaves.
- Combine sugar and water in a pan and boil until syrupy.
- Add glucose if using and continue cooking until the syrup thickens.
- Stir in peanuts, butter, and salt.
- Cook until the mixture smells roasted and coats the peanuts thickly.
- Pour onto the prepared tray and flatten quickly.
- Watch the final sugar stage closely and remove the pan as soon as the target colour or set is reached; residual heat continues cooking the syrup.
- Cool until firm, then cut or break into pieces.
