But giddier-sweet Is

The correct timing of cooking,
the treatment before and after
cooking all influence its texture,
and unless you are an expert,
suggest that you supply yourself
with the proper kind of equipment
before you start.
This would be:
/. Saucepan of heavy aluminium
or enamel that is large enough to
permit vigorous boiling without
danger of going over the top.
2. Standard measuring cup and
spoons.
3. Candy thermometer.
4. Wooden spoon for beating.
S. Flat slab or large flat surface
to be used when the fondant is
being cooled and kneaded.
1t is we'll in making fondant to
not try to make too much at one
time. However, the fondant will
keep two or three weeks so well,
filled jar of it on hand is a very
wise thing to have.
You will find it grand as a
filling for dates. making choco-
lates, minis and as a filling be-
tween crisp chocolate crackers and
even if you don't use it all in your
candy making, there is no waste
as it can be used as Sweetning
for other foods.
In fondant making as in the
case Of fudge it is very impor
tant to prevent it from going
to sugar" or forming large crys-
tails.
There are several ways of pre-
venting this. One is to add cream
of tartar another is to use corn
strip. The cream of tartar
changes cane sugar over to
type of sugar that does not crys
tallize out. Vinegar is used in
certain types of candy for the
same purpose. A smooth velvety
texture is the secret of successful
fondant making.
The size of the crystal can also
be controlled by the way in
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-12-18

which the strip is handled both
before anG after cookery.
This recipe gives detailed in
struction for making the fondant.
BY following it carefully you will
avoid failure. AS said before it is
best to use a thermometer. How
ever, the exact time for cooking
and methods of testing are in
cluded here in this recipe
FOndant
Two cups granulated sugar,
three-fourths cup boiling water,
one-eighth teaspoon cream of tar
tar. Put the sugar, later, and
cream of tartar into a sauce pan
over hot fire. Stir constantly
until it commences to boil. Do
not splash the Sirup. Do not stir
after it boils.
Wipe down the sides of the pan
with a piece of cloth wrapped
around a pointed stick dipped in
hot water to remove the sugar
grains which will make the fon-
dant gritty. Put cover over the
pan for several minutes while the
strip is cooking. The steam from
the candy will wash down the
sides of the sauce pan.
After the strip has boiled about
eight minutes, dip a skeWer into
the strip then into the cold water
for a while. If the sugar on the
skewer can be rolled into a soft
ball it is time to stop boiling.
Quickly pour into cold platter,
cool quickly. Do not allow the
last of the sirup to pour out as
it coarsens the fondant. Leave
the Sirup on the platter until
cool, then start to work it. Work
until it forms a smooth ball.
Knead like bread, place in a
jar, place over it a wet towel. Let
it stand at least "a hours before
using as it needs to ripen.
This fondant is used as a base
for minis of all kinds. ColorS
such as leaf green, yellow rose.
violet and red may tint it and
flavoring oils such as peppermint,
