Homemade Butter Scotch Candy |
Good Evening guys! I
hope you all had a splendid weekend. Today is one of those days I feel nostalgic
and have a sweet tooth. What best way to curb this craving than whip up some
homemade butter scotch. Butter scotch is a popular treat to have as a snack
when that sweet tooth carving kicks in. Growing up in Sierra Leone this snack
was a lunch and after school treat that I enjoyed indulging in with no guilt.
Preparing butter scotch
is every simple and easy. You only need two ingredients butter and sweetened condensed
milk. The only tricky bit is the moulding stage. You have to be quick at
moulding the candy into mini balls before it hardens up. You have a window of about 10 to 15 minutes.
Ingredients
1.
150 g unsalted butter
2.
379 g of sweetened condensed milk

Method
Stirring butter and milk in medium heat |
1.
Before you start, have a bowl of water
and about 2 table spoon of either melted butter or vegetable oil and a large
plate ready and aside.
2.
Melt 125 g of butter in a cooking pot in
medium heat.
3.
Pour sweetened condensed milk into melted
butter.
4.
Use wooden spoon to mix butter and milk
together until you have soft golden brown gooey consistency.
5.
Turn heat off and let the mixture set
for at least a minute then start moulding into mini balls. BE EXTREMELY
CAUTIOUS! The candy will still be piping hot.
6.
Rub some oil or butter in your palm then
using table spoon scoop tiny portions of the candy and mould into round mini
balls. Use water in bowl to cool your hands as you go along. Repeat this step until
you mould all the candy.
7.
Depending on how small you mould the
balls you should have about 15-20 pieces.
