Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 17x11x1-in. jelly-roll pan (15×10 is fine) and line the bottom with parchment paper In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together eggs and sugars until thick and pale, 3-5 minutes. Beat in vanilla. While that is beating (or before, if you're not using a stand mixer), heat milk and butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter has just melted and the milk is steaming, but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside Gradually sift flour and baking powder into the beaten egg mixture and mix at low speed until just combined. With the mixer running, still at a low speed, slowly stream in the milk/butter mixture until batter is uniform Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading it out evenly, and bake for 20-25 minutes at 350F. Cake is done when a tester comes out clean and the top is golden and springs back when touched lightly Let cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely When cake is cooled, spread the butterscotch frosting onto it in a thin, even layer Store leftovers in an airtight container. Makes about 30 Krimpets. FROSTING: Melt butterscotch chips and butter together in a medium sized, microwave safe bowl. Whisk to combine, and set aside for a few minutes to cool to room temperature. Beat butterscotch mixture with confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and 1/4 teaspoons salt. If frosting is too thin, add additional confectioners' sugar to make it spreadable.
HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS RECIPE

Steps:
- This second version is suitable for baking since it holds up to heat and doesn't melt... into pockets of caramel... like the first version... ehem (don't get me wrong, they were delicious caramelly gooey spots but they weren't very pretty). These butterscotch chips are amazing! Print Homemade Butterscotch Chips [the "bake-able" version] Yield: 3.5 cups Ingredients 1 cup Light Coconut Milk, canned 53g (1/4 cup + 1 tsp) Butter Flavor Spectrum Organics Shortening 1/4 tsp Salt 84g (1/4 cup) Molasses 1/4 cup Water 192g (1 cup) Granulated Erythritol (or more sucanat or sweetener of choice) 96g (1/2 cup) Sucanat 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Instructions Spray a 9″ brownie pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper both ways. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the coconut milk, shortening and salt at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until shortening has completely melted. In a medium-sized deep pot, add the molasses and water. Stir in the erythritol and sucanat. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the pot so there are no sugar crystals above the mixture. Add a candy thermometer to the pot. Place pot over medium-medium/high heat. Let it come to a boil without stirring. At 250 degrees Fahrenheit, turn off the heat and whisk in the coconut milk/shortening mixture. Stop whisking once all is added. Return the pot to medium-medium/high heat and heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, again, without stirring. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Pour into the prepared pan and let sit for 6 hours or overnight. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing. Slice the butterscotch square with a sharp knife or pizza cutter (it will be a little sticky). You can either slice the strips you've made into chips with a knife or break it into pieces by hand (I started with the knife and moved on to use my fingers). Put the chips into a bowl and store covered in the refrigerator until you need to use it. Notes This recipe is: low sugar, gluten free, vegan!
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the butterscotch from burning.
- Cook the butterscotch over medium heat, stirring constantly, to prevent it from scorching.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the butterscotch reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the butterscotch by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it's ready.
- Butterscotch can be used in a variety of desserts, such as pies, cakes, and cookies.
- Butterscotch can also be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.
Conclusion:
Butterscotch is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of desserts. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect butterscotch every time.
