       1 c  Sugar
     2/3 c  Light corn syrup
     1/2 c  Water
     1/4 ts Cream of tartar
       1 ts Vanilla
       1 tb Butter or margarine
  
    1. Butter a large platter or jelly-roll pan.
    2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water and cream of tartar in medium-size
   heavy saucepan. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.
    3. Boil mixture without stirring until candy thermometer registers 266F.
   (A teaspoonful of syrup will form a hard ball when dropped in cold water.)
   Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and butter or margarine.
    4. Pour onto prepared platter or pan. Let candy stand until cool enough to
   handle.
    5. Butter hands. Gather up candy; pull between hands until it becomes
   satiny and light in color. Pull into large strips; twist. Cut into 1"
   pieces with scissors. To store, wrap each candy in plastic wrap and place
   in air-tight container.
    Makes 1/2 pound.
