Glessies are a variety of traditional Scottish toffees that mix some of the ingredients of butterscotch and toffee.
Ingredients:
1 tsp
cream of tartar
2 tbsp cold water
250g Muscovado sugar
15g butter
750g golden syrup
Method:
Add the butter, sugar, water and cream of tartar to a pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow to boil for 5 minutes then add the syrup, stir in well, and return to a boil. Continue to boil, without stirring, for about half an hour, or until the mixture has reached the Hard Ball stage (118–121°C as measured on a confectioner's thermometer).
Take off the heat and pour thinly into well-greased tins. As soon as it begins to cool and set cut into squares with a greased knife. When cold and hardened break apart with a hammer, or the back of a knife.
