Re: butter candy (was Raw butter without bread -- how?)

[Guest guest]

Rebekah,

When you make your butter candy, how much butter do you use in a recipe that

uses 1 tsp of vanilla. Just wondering because you had listed all the

ingredients in " parts, " that is, proportions to one another, but listed the

vanilla in teaspoons, and absolute amount.

I want to try it this weekend. Would a teaspoon of vanilla go to a stick? A

half cup?

Thanks very much for what seems like a great recipe!

Chris

I haven't made the butter candy in a while, but I think I usually used

between 1/2 to 1 cup of butter, probably more like a cup. I never really

measured any of the ingredients, so you will have to adjust it to taste.

Hope that helps!
