Please to remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, Treason and Plot. We know no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night is a much-loved date on the calendar, especially by cheeky little kids up and down the length and breadth of Britain. It's usually celebrated on the night of 5 November and commemorates the day when Guy or Guido Fawkes and his fellow band of Catholic conspirators were foiled in their dastardly plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament, a day when King James I was in session for the State Opening. The historical significance of the evening has faded somewhat, but come 5 November, Britain is aglow with orange bonfires and burning effigies of naughty old Guy, fireworks screaming across the crisp autumn night. Guy Fawkes Night is magical. Traditionally, people would cook potatoes in the bonfires and enjoy the black, crunchy bits. And bonfire night would not be right without a healthy dose of treacle toffee, famous for removing fillings. So here’s a recipe. Treacle Toffee To Stick Jaws Shut · Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups soft brown sugar 1/2 cup Demerara sugar (crystalized, light brown sugar) 2/3 cup water 1/4 cup black treacle 1/4 cup butter 1 teaspoon vinegar Recommended equipment: Thermometer. Before you start, butter a low-side cake-tin and set aside, you'll be pouring the toffee in it for setting later. Place ingredients in large heavy pan and heat slowly, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Then, cover and bring to a strong boil. To keep mixture from sticking to the bottom, stir for the next 10 minutes, or until your mixture reaches 280ºF. If you don't have a thermometer and you want to check that your mixture is ready, drop a little of the mixture, into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, then the toffee is ready to be set. Pour into the tin you prepared and let cool. When the toffee is half set, mark it into squares. When the toffee is hard, break it up, and get stuck in.
