Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the mold
Lightly oil a small tray or a 15–20 cm heatproof bowl. This way, the toffee comes out easily when it cools.
Start melting the sugar
Take granulated sugar and water in a medium-sized, thick-bottomed pot. Heat over medium heat, shaking the pot gently until the sugar dissolves; Keep stirring to a minimum to reduce crystallization.
Add butter and vinegar
When the sugar melts completely, add the butter and vinegar. Stir briefly with a spatula until the butter melts and mixes into the mixture.
Cook until caramel color
Let the mixture boil. Cook until the color changes to light amber; Meanwhile, control the fire so it doesn't burn. If you want, use a wet brush to remove the sugar accumulated on the edges.
Check consistency
Place a very small drop on a plate. If it hardens quickly and becomes brittle, the consistency is OK; If it remains soft, cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Pour and cool
Carefully pour the hot toffee into the prepared bowl. Leave it at room temperature until it cools completely and hardens; If you are in a hurry, you can let it rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Break and serve
Take the toffee out of the mold and break it into pieces. Store in an airtight jar; Moisture can soften the texture of the fudge.
