To Make Everton Toffee

Ingredients

• 1 lb powdered loaf sugar
• 1 teacupful water
• 1/4 lb butter
• 6 drops of essence of lemon

Instructions

1. Put the water and sugar into a brass pan, and beat the butter to a cream.
2. When the sugar is dissolved, add the butter, and keep stirring the mixture over the fire until it sets, when a little is poured on to a buttered dish; and just before the toffee is done, add the essence of lemon.
3. Butter a dish or tin, pour on it the mixture, and when cool, it will easily separate from the dish.
4. Butter-Scotch, an excellent thing for coughs, is made with brown, instead of white sugar, omitting the water, and flavoured with 1/2 oz. of powdered ginger.
5. It is made in the same manner as toffee.
