The recipe for this wonderfully buttery candy was handed down from my grandma. My brothers, sisters and I love it now as much as we did when we were little...and so do our families. It's become a cherished tradition. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
2/3 cup water |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Butter a 13-in. x 9-in. pan; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Bring to a boil, without stirring, over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Syrup will turn a golden color.
2. Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Return to heat. Cook and stir until thermometer returns to 300°. Pour into prepared pan. Cool. Break into pieces. Yield: about 3/4 pound.
