Nancy's Kitchen - Tried and Tested Recipes
Old Fashioned Peanut Brittle
.
Old Fashioned Peanut Brittle
1 c. white sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1 c. salted peanuts (without skins)
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
Stir together white sugar and corn syrup in 2-quart bowl, microwave on High for
4 minutes. Add 1 cup salted peanuts (without skins) unsalted is also fine. Stir
well, microwave on High for 4 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon
vanilla. Stir well. Microwave on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon
baking soda. Stir gently until light and foamy. Pour mixture at once onto
buttered cookie sheet, cool 1/2 to 1 hour. HINTS: A 2-quart pitcher is very easy
to handle for the peanut brittle, as you do not have to tough the bowl at all
with a handle. A bowl will become very hot. If you use a wooden spoon you may
leave it in the bowl or pitcher while cooking for easier stirring. I use a Pyrex
two-quart pitcher for both of these recipes.
