                    This white fudge is my all-time favorite. I first tried it on my birthday and had to request the recipe. To speed up the 8-minute beating time, I recruit  kitchen helpers  who take turns stirring the mixture - with the promise that they'll get some of the treats! Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided  |  
                                                2 cups sugar  |  
                                                1/2 cup sour cream  |  
                                                1/3 cup light corn syrup  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                2 teaspoons vanilla extract  |  
                                                1 cup chopped walnuts  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Line an 8-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream, corn syrup, salt and remaining butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage). 2. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Let stand, without stirring, for 15 minutes. Add walnuts. With a wooden spoon, beat until thick and creamy, about 8 minutes. Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm. 3. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Discard foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: about 1-1/2 pounds.                              |
