The background of National Butterscotch Brownie Day

It’s unfortunate that no one knows who established National Butterscotch Brownie Day because they deserve a great deal of recognition for honouring the sweet delights that make our lives more enjoyable.

In contrast to the more ubiquitous chocolate brownies, butterscotch brownies are also known as blondies or blond brownies. The primary distinction between blondies and brownies, besides the colour, is that blondies use vanilla instead of cocoa. Interestingly, blondies existed before brownies. Butterscotch brownies existed in the late 19th century, whereas chocolate brownies did not appear until 1905.

Traditionally, blondies are prepared with flour, butter, eggs, and baking powder in addition to brown sugar, vanilla, and butterscotch chips, which give it its distinctive colour and flavour, but surprisingly, no scotch. Some blondie recipes include chocolate morsels and nuts for added flavour.

The origins of butterscotch, the tasty delight behind the even tastier treat, can be traced back to the Yorkshire, England, town of Doncaster. Samuel Parkinson, a confectioner, began selling butterscotch as hard confectionery. The treat became so popular that the royal seal of approbation was placed on the tins. Some individuals also add cream, vanilla, and salt to their butterscotch.

In lieu of or in addition to sugar, treacle was used in the earliest butterscotch recipes. Treacle is a non-crystallized syrup made from the residue remaining after sugar has been refined. Unlike toffee, butterscotch sugar is boiled to the soft crack stage, not the firm crack stage. Butterscotch is utilised for a variety of purposes. Even as a hard candy, it can be used as a topping, to make pudding, to create delicious chips for cookies or blondies, or as a pudding ingredient.

5 IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIES AND BUTTERSCOTCH

Because butterscotch brownies have the chewiness of brownies and the chunkiness of cookies, they are sometimes referred to as ‘brookies,’ a portmanteau of the words ‘brownie’ and ‘cookie.’

National Blond Brownie Day in January also celebrates butterscotch brownies, and we’re not complaining.

Queen Victoria, Princess Elizabeth, and the Duchess of Edinburgh were publicly presented with the butterscotch sold by the Parkinsons. The butterscotch was endorsed by the British Royal household.

There are yellow translucent hard chocolates known as butterscotch discs or buttons that contain an artificial butterscotch flavour.

Due to the royal endorsement, the Parkinsons named their confections Royal Doncaster Butterscotch, which is still available today.
