Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Put butter into heavy skillet. When melted, add sugar and vinegar. Stir only until sugar is dissolved. Boil until when tried in cold water, drop of mixture will become brittle or form a hard ball. (Or cook to hard ball stage on a modern candy thermometer.) Turn onto buttered pan or plate to cool. As edges cool, fold toward center; as soon as it can be handled, pull until white and glossy. Stretch and cut.
