Roy Kite's Buttermilk Candy




Source of Recipe


recipecircus-buny


List of Ingredients





2-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup raisins (optional)






Recipe



1. Mix the sugar, salt and baking soda together in a saucepan. Add the buttermilk and place on medium heat. Let boil gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns from a cream to a caramel color.

2. Remove from the heat and add butter and vanilla. Cool slightly; then beat until thickened. Nuts or raisins may be added at this stage. Pour the candy onto a buttered dish or platter. Cut into squares when the candy is completely cooled.

VARIATION: If you omit the baking soda and cook the mixture to the soft-ball stage, a white buttermilk-flavored candy results. Shredded coconut is a good addition to either version of the candy; add it with the nuts or raisins.

Makes 20 (1-inch) squares.
