Butterscotch Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds best brown sugar
- 1 1/2 pints water
- 1/4 lb. butter
- 1/2 tbsp. lemon extract
- 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
Instructions
Boil sugar until it will harden in cold water, then add butter. Boil until it hardens again. Do not stir at all. Add lemon extract, and cream of tartar. Pour on buttered trays, or a buttered dripping-pan. Have it 1/4 of an inch thick, and when cool mark off in squares. If, when partly cold, it should be palled until white, it will be like ice-cream candy. Some substitute molasses for the water.
