Ingredients
- two tablespoonfuls of water
- a tablespoonful of extract of vanilla
- a tablespoonful of cream of tartar
- one coffeecup of white sugar
Directions
One coffeecup of white sugar, one or two tablespoonfuls of water, enough to make it dissolve nicely as it heats ; boil without stirring, in a bright tin pan, until it will crisp in water, like molasses candy.
