2 c. sugar
1 c. light corn syrup
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 c. water
Food coloring
Flavoring

Stir together in heavy 3 quart saucepan sugar and cornstarch. Stir in corn syrup, water, salt and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils. Continue cooking without stirring until temperature reaches 266 degrees on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a ball that is hard enough to hold its shape yet plastic. Remove from heat. Stir in flavoring and a few drops of desired coloring. Pour into a greased 9" x 9" pan. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Pull until taffy has a satin like appearance and is light in color. Pull into strips 1/2" wide. Cut with scissors into 1" pieces. Immediately wrap pieces individually in waxed paper. Yield about 1 pound.
