3 c. sugar
1/2 c. white corn syrup
1/2 c. cold water
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla

Place sugar, syrup and water in a pot over slow fire, stir only until sugar is dissolved, then cook until a little tried in cold water forms a soft ball.

Beat egg whites 2 minutes at high speed until stiff. Continue beating and pour one half the syrup slowly over the beaten egg whites, continue beating while cooking the rest of the syrup until it forms a hard ball when tried in a cup of cold water and cracks when hit against side of cup. Add this syrup gradually to the syrup and egg mixture you are beating. Add vanilla and continue beating until candy is thick enough to drop from spoon.

Place by spoonful on a buttered platter or use wax paper on table surface. Nuts may be added just before candy is ready to spoon.
