1 1/2
cups
corn syrup
light
1/4
cup
water
2
cups
sugar
1/4
tsp
salt
2
egg whites
1/4
cup
margarine
softened
1/2
tsp
vanilla
1
cup
nuts
Mix the first four ingredients in heavy sauce pan. Cook, stirring until sugar dissolves and temperature is 250
degrees. Beat egg whites until stiff, not dry. Beat in 1/4 of the syrup (not more) syrup. This would be not
quite a cup of syrup. Continue beating until mixture holds shape. Cook remaining syrup to 298. Beat into first
mixture and beat until mixture holds shape. Add flavoring, beat in butter, continue beating until very thick and
satiny. Stir in nuts and press into buttered pan.
I always get my egg whites ready before I start cooking syrup.
