Ingredients
- a teaspoonful of vinegar
- cayenne
- pepper
Directions
Rub the saucepan with butter and pour in as much treacle as may be wanted. Let it boil gently until a small portion will break between the teeth after being thrown into cold water. When this point is reached, take pan at once off fire, or it will quickly acquire a burnt taste. Pour on a buttered dish, and when cool roll it into sticks, and fold in clean white paper. The toffee may be flavoured with essence of peppermint, almond, or lemon, and a little cayenne pepper thrown into treacle toffee is an excellent cure for a cough.
£ lb. treacle, 4 lb. sugar, 2 oz. butter, a little lemon juice, £ tumbler full of water, a teaspoonful of vinegar. A. Hayes.
