I couldn't stop laughing at this comic. I know so many people like this.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup confectioners' (powdered) sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats, uncooked
DIRECTIONS
Cream butter or margarine; add sugar gradually while continuing to cream; beat until fluffy. Stir in vanilla, flour, and salt. Blend in rolled oats. Roll out about 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut in strips 6 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. On ungreased cookie sheets shape strips to resemble horseshoes. Bake at 325° for 20 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove carefully, as cookies are very rich and break easily.
Ingredients
Butter a dish well, either square glass pan or rectangular glass pan
In a middle sized sauce pan:
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 stick butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream (or cream)
Directions
Bring to a boil while stirring, over lower heat.
Pour in 1 more cup of cream.
Stir well and cook until the color turns to a delicious butterscotch color. This takes 15-25 minutes depending on the heat so sing, and tell stories and take turns stirring.
Have a small cup of water with ice cubes nearby and once the color begins to turn, drop in a little spoonful and see if it is setting up or not. Make sure it forms a hard ball before you pour the mixture into the buttered pans. Sometimes I pour it out too soon and we don't care really we just enjoy softer caramels....
You can add 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts at the end if you like or sprinkle them over the buttered pan.
Let cool if you can stand it, and cut into squares and wrap in waxed paper, twist the ends. A delicious and sweet treat for the holidays, reminding us of when the farmer wives had too much cream and too much butter on hand to use up!
