List of Ingredients
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
Recipe
Butter square pan, 8xSx2 inches.
In 2-quart saucepan, combine
sugar, corn
syrup, water, cornstarch, butter
and salt. Cook over medium heat,
stirring
constantly, to 256 degrees on
candy thermometer (or until small
amount of
mixture dropped into very cold
water forms a hard ball). Remove
from heat;
stir in vanilla. Pour into pan.
When just cool enough to handle,
pull taffy until satiny, light in
color and
stiff. If taffy becomes sticky, butter
hands lightly. Pull into long strips,
1/2 inch wide. With scissors, cut
strips into 1-inch pieces. Wrap
pieces
individually in plastic wrap or
waxed paper. (Candy must be
wrapped to hold
its shape.)
ABOUT 1 POUND.
