1 cup sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Butter a large platter or jelly roll pan. Combine sugar, corn syrup,
water and cream of tartar in medium sized heavy saucepan. Bring to
boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil mixture without
stirring until candy thermometer registers 266°F. Remove from heat; stir
in vanilla and butter or margarine. Pour into prepared platter or pan.

candy; pull between hands until it becomes satiny and light in color.
Pull into large strips; twist. Cut into 1 inch pieces with scissors. To
store, wrap each candy in plastic wrap and place in air tight container.
