Golden Butterscotch Cupcakes

If I had to pick a favorite flavor I will always choose Butterscotch. It’s delicious! I always find the history of ingredients particularly fascinating.

History according to e how : ” The origins of butterscotch have been traced to England in the early 1800s. The name comes from one of the prime ingredients, butter, and the word scotch, which means to cut into pieces.”

“Ingredients: Butterscotch is primarily made of butter and brown sugar, with corn syrup, vanilla and salt added. The mixture is heated to bond the ingredients together. Butterscotch syrups generally contain sweetened evaporated milk to keep it creamy and pourable.

Misconceptions: Butterscotch and caramel are not the same flavor. Butterscotch is cooked at a lower temperature than caramel. Caramel is generally a darker brown and its flavor comes from the slight scorching of sugars during the candy making process.”
Now on to our Golden Butterscotch Cupcakes Recipe!
