Homemade butterscotch is a staple in the repertoire of most Amish bakers. With ingredients that consist of such baking basics, butterscotch is an an easy and irresistible sweet. Â Butterscotch can be used to flavor brownies, cakes, puddings and candies. Â My question: who DOESN'T like butterscotch?:) Â Just be careful when cooking it on the stove-top to keep stirring so it doesn't scorch, while nothing tastes better than butterscotch, few things smell worse than scorched 'scotch. Below is a recipe from the Amish recipe archives for these delicious treats!
Â
- 1 /4 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 /2 teaspoon salt
- 1 /2 cup nuts
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.
- Add brown sugar and stir for 1-2 minutes, until it has a thick, peanut butter-like consistency.
- Let cool, then stir in beaten egg and vanilla, followed by flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Once combined, stir in nuts.
- Spread the batter into a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until edges begin to brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cut into squares while warm and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Place leftovers in air-tight container.

I like butterscotch! I'm the only one in my family that does.
None of my friends like it either. I sure would like to have
