Butterscotch: How To Make. {finally}

For all the butterscotch rage that's been going on for about a year now, (on the www), there's still very little information about what butterscotch is and is not.

#1. Butterscotch is not made with white sugar. Look here if you don't believe me.

#2. Butterscotch is not the flavor of butterscotch chips and butterscotch chips are an artificial flavor.

#3. Butterscotch is really easy to make from scratch.

#4. A lot of people have told you how to make butterscotch pot de creme or stove top pudding before me. My own recipe and method is only one of many.

But now,

#5. I'm here to tell you How To Make Butterscotch. Yes! Finally! Go see for yourself!

How To Make Butterscotch-- with step-by-step photos and instruction. It's at Simply Recipes. Yes, I'm lucky enough to be a guest author there again.

So now you can do whatever you want with butterscotch. Now you have freedom. The skies are the limit. Butterscotch thrown from the rooftops! Butterscotch dresses! Butterscotch kiddie pools!

Butterscotch. The flavor. The memory. The sauce. The elusive & rare perfume.

Butterscotch: the myth, the legend. The Movie.

Butterscotch dresses!! Yes, yes, yes!!

My mother used to make a white cake with butterscotch "icing".
And butterscotch pudding is one of my all-time, knock down drag out favorite things.

Thanks!

Oh, yay! I ran across yet another otherwise promising recipe recently that called for scotch in the butterscotch, and I almost cried.

I just came back from Elise's. Butterscotch pot de creme...I can't wait to make it!
For many years now, probably because of its name, I thought that Butterscotch was made with Scotch Liquor (blush)

talk about comfort food! when I first started my blog, I wentthrough a salted caramel and butterscotch phase. I even thought I was pregnant. I couldn't get enough of it. your photos look amazing. isn't sugar wonderful?

Great recipe!
I just made some of your butterscotch, only with less cream, so that it almost set. Then put a spoonful each into sweet short pastry cups, and topped with dark chocolate gnash.
Yum. Thanks
