Try by dipping your finger and thumb first into cold water ; then into the boiling sugar, and back into cold water quickly ; when it will harden on your fingers it is done. Have ready a platter well-buttered ; turn on this to cool, but never scrape out your kettle ; when partly cool, add flavoring and beat with a knife as long as possible ; then stir with your hands and form into a long roll and cut. Work quickly or it will grain.
