OLD-FASHIONED BUTTER CRUNCH



Old-Fashioned Butter Crunch image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
1 cup toasted almonds, chopped, about 4 ounces
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, tempered
1 cup toasted almonds, chopped, about 4 ounces
One 12 x 18-inch pan, buttered and lined with buttered foil, plus 2 large cutting--boards, jelly-roll pans, or cardboard pieces, covered with parchment.

Steps:

  • To make the butter crunch mixture, melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan. Before the butter crunch hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto a large parchment-covered cutting board and peel away the foil. Allow the butter crunch to cool completely. To finish the butter crunch, wipe the top surface of the candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter and allow to dry a few minutes. Have another cutting board or the back of a jelly-roll pan ready to turn the candy over onto. Use a small offset metal icing spatula to spread half the tempered chocolate quickly over the butter crunch. Scatter half the chopped almonds over the chocolate. Cover this finished surface with a piece of parchment paper or foil and place another cutting board or the back of a large jelly-roll pan. Remove top board and paper and quickly spread with remaining tempered chocolate and scatter on remaining almonds (it isn't necessary to wipe the second side because it wasn't against a buttered surface). Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate. Break the butter crunch into 2-inch pieces. Store candy in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover and keep at a cool room temperature for up to a week.

BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/4 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
1 cup heavy cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the milk and cream and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside. In a large, heavy skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, to caramelize the mixture. You'll smell a characteristic nutty-caramel odor when the butter browns, signaling that the mixture is ready.
  • Whisking constantly, gradually add the butter/brown sugar mixture to the hot milk/cream mixture. If the mixture isn't smooth, blend for 20 seconds with a hand blender or pour through a fine sieve. Put the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture. Whisk in the cornstarch and salt until dissolved. Whisk the cornstarch mixture back into the hot milk mixture in the saucepan. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Turn off the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into 6 to 8 custard cups, ramekins, or mugs and chill, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use Cold Heavy Cream and Milk: Chilling the heavy cream and milk before whipping helps it hold its shape better and creates a lighter, fluffier pudding.
  • Don't Overcook the Pudding: Constantly stir the pudding mixture over medium heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Overcooking can cause the pudding to become grainy.
  • Chill the Pudding Thoroughly: After transferring the pudding to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the pudding to set and develop its full flavor.
  • Use Quality Chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of the pudding. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Add Toppings: Before serving, consider adding toppings such as whipped cream, crushed toffee, or chopped nuts to elevate the presentation and flavor of the pudding.
