Ingredients
- 1 cup of molasses
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients except the baking soda in a pot.
- Bring to a slow boil and let simmer for a few minutes until a drop of the mixture in cold water forms a hard ball.
- Add the baking soda and mix well.
- Empty into a greased pan and let cool.
- Find yourself a partner and butter your hands well.
- Grab a lump of taffy the size of a baseball, roll it slightly to make a cylinder 6″ long, hold one end and get your partner to hold the other end and then start pulling.
- Try to twist it as you pull, pulling it fairly thinly, and then meet up with your partner, form the mixture into a ball again, and repeat the process several times.
- When the taffy starts to harden, cut it into small pieces with scissors and place on buttered plate to serve.
