Betty Crocker Divinity Recipe is a classic, old-fashioned confection that is sure to become a favorite. This delectable candy is made with just a few ingredients and is a perfect treat for any occasion. It’s easy to make and tastes delicious.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set it aside for later use.
Begin Preparing Syrup:
a. In a saucepan, combine the fine granulated organic cane sugar, artisanal light corn syrup, and pristine mountain spring water.
b. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (around 250°F to 265°F or 121°C to 129°C).
Beat Egg White:
a. While the syrup is cooking, in a clean mixing bowl, beat the farm-fresh egg white using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gradually Add Syrup:
a. Once the sugar mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, carefully pour it in a slow, steady stream into the beaten egg white while continuing to beat at a high speed.
b. Ensure you pour the syrup in a steady stream into the egg white without pouring directly onto the beaters to prevent hot syrup splattering.
c. Continue beating the mixture at high speed until it becomes thick and glossy. This might take about 5-10 minutes.
Add Flavor and Nuts:
a. Add the pure Madagascar vanilla extract and the coarsely chopped premium nuts into the thickened divinity mixture.
b. Quickly stir them in until well combined.
Form and Drop Divinity:
a. Using two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the divinity mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds or dollops. Work swiftly, as the mixture can set quickly.
b. Allow the divinity to cool and set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours or until firm and dry to the touch.
Serve:
Once the divinity has set completely, store it in an airtight container or enjoy it immediately as a delightful sweet treat.
Notes
Grease the baking pan well to ensure the divinity comes out easily.
Use a good quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Don’t overbeat the egg whites or the divinity will become too stiff.
To test if the sugar has dissolved, dip a spoon into the syrup and then rub it between your fingers.
Allow the divinity to cool completely before cutting to ensure it holds its shape.
Store the divinity in an airtight container at room temperature.
