CREAMY TAFFY.

AROMA FdTk.)
see in RICH where Mrs. M. N. w.
requests a recipe for creamy taffy.
I cut this recipe out of a paper many
years ago, have used it several times,
although not lately.
Ice Cream Candy-Eight cups of
granulated sugar. 2 cups of hot wa
ter, teaspoon cream of tartar, dis
solved in cold water; lump of butter
the size of egg and 2 teaspoons
vanilla. Put the water and sugar on
fire in graniteware pan, stir until
dissolved. When it begins to boil,
add the cream of tartar and let it
boil 20 minutes without stirring, add
the butter at the last minute When
brittle in cold water, it is done.
Pour on large buttered platters,
sprinkle vanilla over it and let it
cool. Pull as soon as you can handle
1t, draw it out into sticks and cut
with sharp scissors the desired
length. In "a hours it will be creamy
and delicious. I use 4 platters for
this, having one covered with Eng
llSh walnut meats, one with chopped
flgs and two into which plain sirup
goes. After it is all pulled, I cut
about half of it into squares, or odd
shapes, and dip in melted chocolate
This gives a delicious mixture and
to me, IS not as difficult as the fon-
dant.
Standard Taffy-Two and one
half cups sugar, q cup light corn
slrup, y cup water, 2 tablespoons
butter, l tablespoon vanilla.
combine sugar, corn sirup and wa
ter in saucepan, stir well. Cook
rapidly until small amount in cold
water forms soft ball. Add flavor
ing, stir only enough to mix, pour
into buttered shallow pan, let stand
until cool enough to i
handle, pull until candy has satin-l
like finish and is fairly elasti" WI
