Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Gather all your ingredients: demerara sugar, water, butter, cream of tartar, black treacle, and golden syrup.
-
Heat Sugar and Water:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the demerara sugar and water.
- Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Be careful not to let the mixture come to a boil.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients:
- Once the sugar has dissolved, add the butter, cream of tartar, black treacle, and golden syrup to the saucepan.
- Stir the mixture continuously until it begins to bubble and boil.
- It’s essential to keep stirring constantly to prevent burning.
-
Test for Readiness:
- To check if the toffee is ready, drip a teaspoonful of the mixture into a cup of cold water.
- If it sets and forms a firm ball, it’s ready to move to the next step.
-
Prepare Tin:
- Grease a flat tin with a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking.
-
Pour Mixture:
- Once the toffee mixture has reached the desired consistency, carefully pour it into the prepared tin.
- Spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
-
Allow to Set:
- Leave the toffee to cool and set at room temperature.
- It will harden as it cools, forming a crunchy texture.
-
Break and Enjoy:
- Once the toffee has cooled and hardened completely, it’s ready to enjoy!
- Break it into pieces using a knife or by hand, and savor the sweet, buttery flavor.
- Serve it at Halloween gatherings, bonfire parties, or simply enjoy it as a tasty treat any time of the year.
Tips:
- Be vigilant when heating the sugar and water mixture to prevent it from boiling.
- Constant stirring is crucial to ensure the toffee cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
- Test the readiness of the toffee by dropping a small amount into cold water—it should form a firm ball.
- Greasing the tin lightly will make it easier to remove the toffee once it has set.
- Allow the toffee ample time to cool and harden before breaking it into pieces for serving.
