Categories: Candy
Yield: 1 Batch
| 1 | c | Sugar |
| 1 | tb | Cornflour |
| 2/3 | c | White corn syrup |
| 1/2 | oz | Butter |
| 1/2 | c | Water |
| 1/4 | ts | Salt |

Mix sugar and cornflour in a saucepan. Stir in corn syrup, butter, water
and salt. Cook over a moderate heat until mixture reaches 254 degrees F or
until a few sdrops tested in cold water form a ball which holds its shape.
Remove from heat, add a few drops of food coloring and flavoring extract,
and pour on to a buttered platter. Cool until it can be handled
comfortably. Butter your hands and pull the taffy until it is light in
colour and firm enough to hold a shape. Stretch into a roll about 1 inch in
diameter and snip off bits with kitchen shears. Wrap each piece in wax
paper.
