If it seperates, just pour it over a layer of saltine crackers.

What was the weather when it separated? Certain candy wont work when damp weather??

Great question - I have also heard that about the weather, but can't recall specifically

I think rerolling is necessary and not a bad thing to get the most out of the dough. I have done both add some new dough and just simply rerolling the scraps. Thanks for your video.

It seperates because you've over cooked the mixture. Also make sure the thermometer doesn't touch the bottom of the pan. Because then you're taking the twmp of the pan not the mixture.
@MoreMustBeBetter8 ай бұрын
I do think there's something to the length of time it takes to come up to temp... and I'm careful about the thermometer not hitting the bottom of the pan. I can also kind of tell now by how it looks and behaves when it's ready!

To prevent it from seperating use more sugar than butter. I use 1 stick of butter to 1 cup of sugar. I also use 1 tablespoon of glucose syrup per cup of sugar. Havent had any batches seperate in years, decades actually lol Im in Florida and have made this during rain or shine or hurricane, humidity at 100% and never had problems with the toffee. Those must be old "wives tales" bcuz I make lots of candies and never had a problem...❤

The true Pennsylvania Amish would not waste dough. My family always rerolled the dough over and over, adding a little new dough and cutting the shapes until there was no dough left, no difference in taste. We always sifted the flour and used baking powder. Also we only used black walnuts for the tops of the cookie.
@MoreMustBeBetter8 ай бұрын
That's true - I usually do incorporate my scraps at least one time, maybe twice. And I remember black walnuts as a topping, and cinnamon/sugar!

Butter has to be fresh.
@MoreMustBeBetter8 ай бұрын
I hadn't considered that as a source of the issue but I do sometimes freeze butter - maybe previously frozen butter is more likely to cause separation?

It has to come up to temp - this recipe requires that the sugar/toffee mixture reach the hard crack stage
@maryjanegibson77439 ай бұрын
Stop stirring before it reaches the hard crack stage and it shouldn't separate. It works well to stir the almonds into the syrup.

Regarding the separation. Someone on another video said… real butter will make it separate so he exclusively uses margarine instead.

Are you using real butter? Because my grandma always insisted on margarine maybe that’s why it’s separated.

One other comment... I've been watching a lot of cooking shows on KZbin lately and it seems like all of the chefs are using parchment paper now. You can even buy it in sheets pre-cut to fit cookie sheet pans instead of aluminum foil. Just thought I'd pass this on...

@MoreMustBeBetter8 ай бұрын
YES, that one is great! Or Matzoh! For that recipe, you don't cook the toffee mixture the whole way to "hard crack" - it comes out before that, then you pour it over the crackers and then it goes into the oven.

You made my mouth water💖. Our family made peanut brittle using salted peanuts and added 1 tsp soda. We would take it immediately outside and carefully sit the pan on a leveled snow drift. Then the giggling would start like young girls when it would start cracking and warp. Beautiful Christmas Memories 🎄🙏💖
