Bring to a boil for one minute and reduce to medium heat. So, you boil for one minute. How long do you cook over medium heat?
Add baking soda and vanilla and whisk until incorporated and sugar is dissolved. Is this done over medium heat or after the pan is removed from heat?
Hi Vicki, thank you for your question. You will bring it to a boil and only let it boil for a minute then reduce the heat.
While the heat is at medium and the pot is still over heat is when you add the baking soda and vanilla. Stir and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved then remove it from heat. I hope this helps! Let me know how it turns out!
