Butterscotch Chocolate Chunk Cookies
April 3, 2013
Butterscotch is defined as a type of confectionery with brown sugar and butter as the main ingredients. The authentic recipe for "making Doncaster butterscotch is one pound of butter, one pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of treacle, boiled together.", according to "Housewife's Corner" and Masluk Cream Co. in an 1848 newspaper.
Butterscotch shares some characteristics with toffee. However, with butterscotch, the sugar is boiled to the soft crack stage, and not hard crack like toffee. The term “butterscotch” usually refers to delicacies with the flavor of brown sugar and butter together, even sans the actual confection butterscotch. Nowadays, butterscotch is considered a flavor, just like caramel.
We are all familiar with butterscotch anything, and many of them are only rip-offs, and the flavors don’t even match the real deal! Now that you are bound to know how to make butterscotch, please steer clear of artificially flavored treats! :p
