I love butterscotch. It used to be the sweet for travel. Before a long road trip with may parents, we’d buy sweets  – and my job en route would be to hold on to and dish out the sweets. one of the favourites would be butterscotch. I remember it came in a flat packet – similar to a small pack of playing cards with sticks of butterscotch – each stick individually wrapped, with a line in the middle to conveniently snap into to standard size lozenges. Was it Callard & Bowser? maybe. I can’t remember.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1lb demerara sugar<\/div>\n
1\/4pt water<\/div>\n
2oz butter<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Put the sugar in a tall pan (tall, because it’s going to bubble up) along with the water. Heat until the sugar dissolves.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 Bring to the boil, then boil until the temp reaches the soft crack stage 132\u00b0C (270\u00b0F), (when a drop of the syrup in cold water makes hard but not brittle threads). <\/p>\n

Add butter a little at a time, stirring until dissolved before adding more.<\/p>\n

Pour out into a greased 18 cm (7 inch) square tin. Mark into squares when almost set with the back of a knife. When set, break along the marked lines. Keep in an airtight container.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
