Hi Alicia and Jessie,
Here is a recipe for Plain Toffee without nuts, chocolate or flavoring.
Toffee
Ingredients
1 lb sugar (preferably Demerara)
1/3 pint water
1 1/4 oz. butter
2 level tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon white vinegar
Instructions:
1. Put all ingredients into a heavy saucepan and stir over a steady heat until the sugar has disolved.
2. Bring mixture to a boil and cook until the mixture reaches the 'hard crack' stage, 290 degrees F (143 degrees C). To test for the hard crack stage drop about 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture into a cup of cold water, if it is hard then it is done, if still soft and chewy cook for a little longer and test again.
3. Pour into oiled or buttered tin and either allow to set as a slab or mark in squares as toffee becomes partially set. Break when completely set.
Variation: Use black treacle instead of golden syrup.
Definitions:
Hard crack stage: A term used in connection with making sweets to determine the temperature of a sugar and water syrup.
To Boil: Cook a liquid at a temperature of at least 100°C (212 F).
To Disolve: To add a solid to a liquid and to stir or heat it until the solid becomes an integral part of the liquid.
