DESCRIPTION:

I Want Butterscotch Day is an unofficial event dedicated to the sweet, buttery, and rich butterscotch flavor.

The history of butterscotch itself dates back to the 19th century in England. The term "butterscotch" was first recorded in 1817 in Doncaster, a town in Yorkshire, England. The confection was initially a hard candy made from brown sugar and butter, hence the name "butterscotch."

However, there are various theories about the origin of the "scotch" part of the name. Some suggest it might refer to "scotched" or "cut" candy, as the pieces were traditionally scored or cut into pieces while still warm. Others believe it may be derived from "Scotch," referring to its Scottish origins, but no evidence supports this theory.

The making of butterscotch is a simple yet delicate process. Traditional butterscotch is made by gently heating a mixture of brown sugar and butter. Cream, vanilla, salt, and sometimes lemon juice are added depending on the desired consistency. The ingredients simmer until they reach what's known as the soft-crack stage, where the sugar syrup solidifies into a bendable, taffy-like texture when cooled. The mixture is then poured into a tray to cool and harden before being broken into pieces.

The purpose of I Want Butterscotch Day is to honor the rich history and unique flavor of butterscotch, encouraging people to relish its versatility. It's a day for bakers, candy makers, and sweet-toothed individuals to experiment with and enjoy butterscotch in its many forms — from the traditional hard candies to more modern adaptations like butterscotch pudding, ice cream, sauces, and baking ingredients.
