My English Toffee recipe (courtesy of Joy Of Cooking":

3.5 cups sugar
1/4 tsp Cream Of Tartar, mix
2 cups 40% cream
2 sticks of butter

Boil to 310F, stirring specially near end of cook.

Remove from heat
Add 1tsp almond flavor and 2 tsps vanilla, stir in

Pour onto flat heat tolerant surface, let cool.

If desired while cooling, score into grid for rectangles for regular pieces, or just break up after cooling and enjoy!

Thanks. Is 310 normal? I am not a candy maker.

Me neither, but that temperature is what gives toffee that deep brown color.

High hard crack stage for cooking the water out of sugar based syrup. Candy thermometers sometimes divide up the temp scale into the stages of sugar syrup cooking.
