Daddy's Molasses Candy

  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 tsp soda
Put molasses and sugar in saucepan or iran kettle. Stir constantly until dissolved. Boil without stirring over a moderate fire. Brush inside edge of saucepan with butter to prevent boiling over. Cook to 256°F, or until mixture spins fine threads when dripped slowly from the tip of a spoon. Put 3 Tbsps of candy into a buttered dish. Keep in a warm location for coloring. Add soda to remaining candy. Stir and turn into pan lined with butter or on to buttered slab. When cool enough to handle, pull as quickly and as long as possible. When very light, lay upon it the unpulled candy, and pull out together in one long strip. Cut in small pieces, and roll, roll, roll in confectioners' sugar. If candy is not eaten at once, then wrap each piece in wax paper.
