Hi Mary,
The correct spelling is S-y-r-i-a-n. I almost gave up before I realized what you meant.
The recipe is below.

We have friends from England visiting us, they wanted Toffee ice-cream.
We searched everywhere for it, we finally found it at Brewsters. The
only problem was it's simply vanilla ice-cream with chocolate toffee bar
crumbled in it, our friends said that isn't real toffee ice-cream. I
have searched for a recipe for real toffee ice-cream, can you help me??
I'd like to make it for them when they come back next year, or maybe
before they leave next week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Lorie
Hi Lorie,
Sorry for the delay in replying, but I've been on vacation for two weeks. Lorie, I can't
locate any toffee ice cream recipe other than the one below, which you say isn't correct.
Perhaps you can ask your English friends to send you a recipe for it and if you send it to
me, we'll introduce it to America...
Phaed
English Toffee Ice Cream

4 1.4-oz bars chocolate-covered English Toffee (Heath Bars)

1. Crush the toffee bars by placing them between 2 pieces of
waxed paper and crushing with rolling pin; set aside. Combine
the whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, coffee and vanilla.
Refrigerate until completely chilled.
2. Beat chilled mixture with a rotary beater or an electric mixer
on low speed until it's of custardlike consistency. Fold in toffee.

Subject: A question..
you are so good at answering my questions here is another one for you,
what ingredient is tous-les-mois please for an english teacake recipe.
thank you..Sadie
Hello Sadie,
"Tous le mous" is the same thing as arrowroot. It's used as a thickener.
You can buy it at health food stores and some groceries under the name arrowroot.
Ask for the kind used in cooking.

Hi, I have a golden delicious apple tree so overloaded with small
apples the branches are breaking. This happens only about every
5-6 years in central Arizona at 5000 feet elevation. Are there
any recipes for these many, many little apples that I'm collecting,
other than drying and making kitchen dolls out of them?
Thanks Roseanne
Hello Roseanne,
Golden delicious apples are great for pies, baking, and applesauce. Check this page for a plethora of apple recipes,
many more than I could e-mail you:
