Grease the parchment paper with extra butter. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Ensure the gauge is not resting directly on the bottom of the pan. Add the butter, sugar, corn syrup, condensed milk, molasses, and salt. Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent scorching in the corners. Once the mixture reaches 240° F, remove it from the heat, and immediately stir in the flour and the black food gel. Once these are fully incorporated, stir in the anise extract. Pour the mixture into the buttered loaf pan, and let it set in the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove the licorice from the pan, and either dice it into squares or slice it into ropes and twist them.
