Recipe type: Dessert / Candy
Serves: 1 lb
Ingredients
  • ⅞ lb of butter (3 sticks, oh yes)
  • 2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • dash of vanilla (optional, but I love everything a little more with vanilla
Instructions
  1. Melt the first stick of butter in a pan over low/ medium heat. We're not trying to boil anything yet, just melting.
  2. Once you've melted the first stick completely (no boiling yet) add the remaining two sticks of butter to the pan.
  3. They'll melt like buttah. (I slay myself)
  4. Now that you have a pan full of melted butter its time to turn up the heat and add some sugar.
  5. Add one cup of sugar, stirring quickly as you do. You can never, ever stop stirring while you're making toffee, it's the law. (You will burn almost a pound of butter and that's a total waste)
  6. Stir in the second cup of sugar and it will look like this butter/sugar paste.
  7. Turn the heat up to medium/high to get the butter bubbling.
  8. Boil the butter until it gets all bubbly and foamy.
  9. Next add the corn syrup, stirring the whole time.
  10. Keep stirring, as the toffee turns from yellow to a light brown and keep boiling and stirring on low to medium heat until the toffee is caramel brown and is a silky consistency.
  11. Add the salt, stirring quickly and remove pan from heat.
  12. Immediately pour onto a greased cookie sheet.
  13. Using a wooden spoon, spread it out to the edges of the cookie sheet.
  14. As the toffee is cooling, use a wooden spoon to score it in even lines. Give it a few seconds to cool and then score it with your wooden spoon. This makes it easier to break into manageable pieces once it has cooled.
  15. Once the toffee has cooled, take a spatula and scrape it out of the pan.
  16. BOOM! Enjoy your delicious toffee.
