Salted Sesame Brittle

1. Prepare a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or greased parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium pot, bring sugar and honey to a boil, stirring constantly. When mixture begins to boil, stop stirring and allow it to continue boiling undisturbed until it turns a medium gold color. (Watch very closely, as once the color starts changing it will darken quickly.)
3. Remove pot from heat and stir in butter and sesame seeds. Pour onto prepared baking sheet.
4. Put a second Silpat or greased parchment on top of hot mixture and use a rolling pin to roll it out as thinly as possible.
5. Uncover, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and let it cool completely before breaking into shards.
