1 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 teaspoon salt
Mix together and cook in a heavy large pan over medium
heat, stirring constantly until taffy reaches hard
ball stage. (A 6-quart pressure cook works great)
Then Quickly add: Several drop of food coloring until
you have desired color 2 teaspoon flavoring.
Pour onto a buttered tray. Fold outside edges into
center... for even cooling. When cooled enough to
handle pull with greased hands in a large figure 8
until taffy turns white and is hard to pull. Twist
into a ½ inch rope and cut into bite size pieces. Wrap
each piece in waxed paper and store in air tight
container (A buttered pie plate works very well. Never
use a cold plate as it will brake)
