DIRECTIONS:
Place sugar and 3 tablespoons butter into a large heavy-bottomed
pot over medium heat. Pour the boiling water over,
and stir to dissolve. Allow the mixture to come to
a rolling boil. It will boil up in the pot as if
it is going to boil over, but it will settle down.
Use some of the remaining butter to butter a marble
slab.
When the sugar mixture reaches the soft crack stage
of 270 to 280 degrees F (132 to 140 degrees C), remove
from the heat immediately. Pour onto the buttered marble
slab. Add peppermint oil and food coloring if desired.
Butter your hands, and start pulling up pieces of the
sugar blob. Keep stretching so that it will not set
up. Continue to stretch until it has lost it's shine
and is stringier.
Pull the candy out into one long string, and cut into
1 inch segments using scissors. Store candies in an
airtight tin.
Note:
If it turns back into sugar while being pulled, put
it back in the pot with another cup of boiling water
and start again at step 2.
