EDWARDIAN BUTTER TOFFEE

EDWARDIAN BUTTER TOFFEE

— Toffee au beurre à l’ancienne

A simple old-world confection with a grand holiday sparkle — Edwardian Butter Toffee is stirred slowly until it turns glossy and golden, then poured into a thin sheet and broken into delicate shards. Buttery, crisp, and deeply nostalgic, it belongs beside candlelight, evergreen boughs, and a tin lined with parchment for gifting. From The Gilded Table: December Edition.

Notes ✨
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and steady heat — slow and even helps prevent scorching.
For a nostalgic finish, sprinkle a whisper of flaky sea salt (or toasted nuts) before the toffee fully sets.
Store in an airtight tin with parchment between layers; it makes a beautiful holiday gift tied with ribbon.

A little golden sweetness for candlelit evenings and holiday tins.
