please or lollipops without cream of tartarWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
This is a recipe from Betty Crocker!. I use it all the time and it is awesome!. I have seen other recipes but never seen anything with the cream of tarter!.

1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla


1!. Grease square pan, 8x8x2 inches, with butter!. Mix sugar and cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan!. Stir in corn syrup, water, butter and salt!. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly!. Cook, without stirring, to 265oF on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable; remove from heat!. Stir in vanilla!. Pour into pan!.
2!. When taffy is just cool enough to handle, pull it with lightly buttered hands until satiny, light in color and stiff!. Pull into long strips 1/2 inch wide!. Cut strips into 1 1/2-inch pieces, using scissors!. (For easier cutting, wipe scissors with vegetable oil!.) Wrap pieces individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper (candy must be wrapped to hold its shape)!.

The cream of tartar is to prevent the large crystals of sugar from forming!. You can use Karo instead, or you can just hope you don't get any large crystals forming while the taffy is cooling!. In lollipops it doesn't matter anyway, you won't be beating or pulling it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

just follow the recipe, but don't add cream of tartarWww@FoodAQ@Com
