Why is it called butterscotch ice cream?

Butterscotch is commonly thought to be Scottish in origin, or at least contain Scotch, but those are probably myths. Another theory has it that its name comes from “scorch” — a reference to how it is made, by heating brown sugar with butter to the soft-crack stage of caramelization.

What is the origin of butterscotch?

Butterscotch is traced back to Doncaster, a town in Yorkshire, England, where the word was first recorded. It is often credited to Samuel Parkinson, a confectioner who began making it as a hard candy in 1817.

Can I substitute dulce de leche for caramel?

Can They Be Used Interchangeably? Technically, yes, dulce de leche and caramel can be used as substitutes for one another. They have similar tastes, colors, and textures, and will do the same thing for whatever dish you are using them in.

Why is condensed milk bad for you?

Sweetened condensed milk is high in calories and unsuitable for people with cow's milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance. Its sweet flavor may be off-putting for some and doesn't typically serve as a good substitute for regular milk in recipes.
