Cook safely

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

  • 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.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Take three cups of light brown sugar and one cup of cream.
  2. Roil until nearly done ;
  3. drop in a lump of butter the size of a walnut.
  4. Try in cold water and when it rolls in a soft ball between the fingers and thumb, remove from the fire.
  5. Add nuts and beat until nearly cold.
  6. Pour in buttered tins and cut in squares.
