Butter Taffy
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups light brown sugar
1 1/4 cups molasses
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Boil together. Boil until the syrup forms a hard ball when tested in
cold water. Then add butter and continue the cooking until the mixture,
when tested, becomes brittle. Remove from the stove, add vanilla and
pour the taffy into a buttered pan. When it is nearly cool mark it with
squares. |
