Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

Method

  1. Make extract of coffee as for coffee creams, using two ounces of coffee and as little water as possible.
  2. Boil one pound of sugar till it is brittle in water ;
  3. let it change to a yellow brown (if white sugar is used ;
  4. if brown, colour will not be a guide, but the odour will—it should smell slightly of burning or browning).
  5. When the sugar has attained this stage, stir in the coffee extract gradually, boila few minutes carefully, and pour out into pans the same as directed for chocolate caramels.
  6. Mark off before they are cold.
