2 c. sugar
1/2 c. light corn syrup
2/3 c. water
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Grease one 9 x 9-inch pan or two 8 x 8-inch pans. (If two people are going to pull the taffy). Also grease a large surface for cutting the candy.

Mix and cook all ingredients except the vanilla to 268 degrees (it will form a firm, nearly brittle ball when dropped into cold water); stir ONLY until sugar is dissolved.

Pour into greased pans. When candy is cool enough to handle, pour the vanilla into the center and fold corners over the vanilla so it will not be lost. Pull, using the finger tips, until the candy is rather firm and white.

Stretch into a long rope about 3/4 inch in diameter. Lay the rope on the greased surface and cut it at once into pieces of desired size. Separate the pieces to prevent sticking together. Serve on a buttered plate, or foil, or transparent food wrap. Store in sealed container. This makes about 50 one-inch pieces.
