Dalgona (Korean Honeycomb Candy)

Prepare a heat-resistant surface, such as parchment paper or a silicone mat, by lightly greasing it with neutral cooking oil.

In a small, deep metal ladle or a non-stick pan, combine the white granulated sugar and water over medium-low heat.

Stir continuously until the white granulated sugar fully dissolves. Stop stirring and allow the mixture to caramelize to a light golden-amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
