Harrypotterbutterbeer Recipes

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a gentle boil and cook stirring often until reads 240 degrees on a candy thermometer.
• Stir in the butter, salt, vinegar and 1/4 cup of heavy cream; set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Once it is cool, stir in the extract.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream; beat with an electric mixer 2 or 3 minutes until just thickened but not completely whipped.
• To serve, divide the brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup each).
• Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, stirring to combine.
• Fill each glass nearly to the top with the additional soda.
• Spoon whipped topping over each.

Steps:

• Making the butter scotch:.
• Add the butter and sugars to a heavy based saucepan and gently heat until everything has melted and dissolved together. Once melted add everything else except the evaporated milk, stir and keep on a gentle heat until everything has mixed. Finally add the evaporated milk (condensed milk is too thick and sweet) - stir, then turn the heat up to a medium heat and simmer for two minutes - we want the mixture to bubble but not boil or burn, stir frequently.
• To make classic butterscotch we would normally heat vigorously, but here we do not want to thicken the mixture at all by evaporation, we want it left thin so that it can mix freely with the 'beer' element. After two minutes turn off the heat and allow to completely cool. The butterscotch syrup should still be runny and not taste too 'sweet' and this is how we want it, the added sugar from the ginger beer and cream soda will balance things out nicely. It will thicken as it cools, but a good stir will loosen it up before use. This can be made up a few days in advance, if it has thickened in the meantime stir in a drop of milk to loosen it. This makes enough butterscotch for two batches of butterbeer.
• Making the head:.
• In a bowl mix together the double cream, the icing sugar and one large tablespoon of the prepared butterscotch recipe. Whisk it until it is thickened, but do not over whip until stiff. The butterscotch will add a lovely subtle taste and colour the cream ever so slightly, making it look like the head of a beer. It tastes so good it is hard to stop yourself licking the spoon.
• Pouring the butterbeer:.
• Into a tall serving jug pour the chilled ginger beer (or ginger ale) then add half of the butterscotch syrup, (stir to make sure it is runny) use a cocktail twizzle stick or long spoon to stir and dissolve one into the other. Then pour on top and mix in the chilled cream soda. Taste and add more butterscotch syrup in if needed.
• Into small pint jugs or glasses pour the butterbeer and top off the glass with a large spoonful of the creamy head mixture which will float on top. I suggest serving it in half-pint or third-pint mugs, one half-pint serving is perfect ....
• If you have some old fashioned beer bottles, or have bought some nicely shaped glass bottles of ginger beer you can make some Butterbeer labels to stick on them and scatter them around. And the remaining butterscotch syrup can be used to make more butterbeer or poured over vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl or liquid measuring cup and refrigerate until very cold, about 1 hour.
• Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Beat in the butterscotch sauce and salt until medium peaks form. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Stir the butter extract and vanilla extract into the cold brown sugar syrup. For each drink, combine 1 cup seltzer with 3 to 4 tablespoons of the brown sugar syrup in a chilled glass. Top with the butterscotch whipped cream.

Steps:

• Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl until creamy using an electric mixer. Add egg, maple syrup, sour cream, vanilla butter and nut flavoring, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat again until combined. Add baking soda and slowly mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time; dough will be sticky.
• Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour 2 tablespoons white sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls using your hands, roll balls in sugar, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly using your palm, and leave space between each, as cookies will spread during baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a rack.
