Add the milk rather cautiously towards

needed, but the batter should not be
too thick. A little practice is neces

Portland. Or.. Feb. 10. Could yon rive

the toffee and butter scotch recipes In It?
X am sure it was on a Saturday. Thought
perhaps I could set one at the office. I
put the paper away but some of the family
took It. Or Is it possible you might be re
peating them? You may answer either
through Daily or Sunday Orenonlan.
MRS. G. a.
I cannot find the, date of the recipe
for which you ask, but I hope the fol
lowing may suit you. If not. write
again, as I have many slightly differ
ing recipes for butter scotch and toffee.
Butterscotch Two cups granulated
sugar, one-quarter cup glucose, one
third cup water to dissolve sugar. Cook
to about 270 degrees Fahrenheit, then
add one tablespoon molasses, two ta
blespoons butter and one-quarter tea
spoon salt. Stir and cook to about 2i0
desrrees. Then either sour In "drops"
I the size of half a dollar, or pour Into
a greased tin and mark in squares,
when half cold. If butterscotch is
wanted flavored with vanilla it is bet
ter to cook a little vanilla bean or
lemon rind (yellow on both sides) In
the early stages of the syrup, removing
before the "feather" is reacher, than to
use "extracts" at the end and risk
granulation.
A richer butterscotch Is made as fol
lows: Boil two cups light brown sugar
and on-half cup water with one-half
teaspoon cream of tartar to 270 degrees
Fahrenheit. Add one-half cup butter
and one-half cup light corn syrup, or
light glucose (not the - stiff, heavy
kind) with a pinch of salt; cook to 209
degrees Fahrenheit. Pour Into greased
pans and mark In squares. Nuts may
be added, according to taste and purse,
to any of the above butterscotch mix
tures, as well as to the following:
Russian toffee Bqll three cups of
sugar with one cup apple, currant or
raspberry Jelly, atid one-half cup water
to 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Then add
one-half cup cream and one tablespoon
butter with a pinch of salt and cook
to 290 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring well
to prevent burning. Finish like butter
scotch.
