Boil at 250 degree F., stirring constantly until the mix-1 i ture turns brittle when dropped in . cold water. Then add 2 tablespoons . vinegar. Pour out on platter, shal- low pan or marble slab (any of them i must be buttered), and when cool enough to handle pull until light col-, ored and porous. Then cut in small pieces with scissors or sharp knife. Dust cornstarch or flour on flngeri to keep them from burning while pulling and use only tips of flngeri and thumbs. i |
