How To Make Butterscotch Extract Food

BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 3/4 cup of the cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium heat. Turn the heat to medium-low. Place a candy thermometer in the pan. Boil the sugar, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 234 degrees F., (the soft ball stage).
• Remove pan from the heat, and carefully add the remaining cream and vanilla. Cool slightly. Serve the sauce warm.
• To store the butterscotch sauce, pour it into a heatproof jar. Cover with the lid and refrigerate for up to 2 week. To serve, loosen the cover on the jar and set jar in small pot of simmering water until heated through. Serve.

BUTTERSCOTCH CANDY

Steps:

• Generously butter a 10x15 inch baking pan (with sides).
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, water, vinegar and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove lid and heat, without stirring, to 270 to 290 degrees F (132 to 143 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard but pliable threads. Pour in vanilla, but do not stir. Remove from heat and pour into prepared pan. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and allowing candy to cool completely.

CLASSIC BUTTERSCOTCH DROPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare 2 large baking sheets by lining them with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, cream, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the cream of tartar and boil the mixture until it reaches 240 F ( soft-ball stage ). Add the butter and continue boiling until the mixture reaches 280 F ( soft-crack stage ).
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Using a very small teaspoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the hot candy onto the prepared baking sheets. It is important to work quickly before the candy begins to set. The drops will spread, so leave a bit of space in between your spoonfuls. Continue forming small butterscotch drops on the prepared sheets until you run out of candy or it becomes too hard to work with.
• Allow the drops to set at room temperature, then lift them off the baking sheet. Serve immediately, or place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

BUTTERSCOTCH FLAVOR POWDER

Steps:

• Mix the ingredients together in a pan, adding just enough water to wet down the other ingredients, set a stovetop burner in the medium heat range, and, stirring constantly, cook slowly until the temperature of the mixture is a carefully measured 310 degrees F. Cooking slowly is important for giving the Maillard reaction time to take place. (The Maillard reaction is what develops the butterscotch flavor). For measuring the temperature, I use an infrared surface temperature thermometer. There are many brands of these infrared thermometers on Amazon.
• When the mixture is cooked, pour it immediately (not letting it harden) onto a flat surface that has been covered with a sheet of parchment paper, and let the mixture cool for, say, 20 minutes, until it is rock solid. Then crack it up with your food-gloved hands, transfer it to a blade type coffee grinder, and grind it into a fine powder. This may require several "transfer-grind" operations. Store the powder in a refrigerator, and use it as desired.
