Time 20m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup corn syrup
1 ½ cups water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange, or other flavored extract
8 drops any color food coloring

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the butter, salt, corn syrup and water; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to mix in butter. Heat to 275 degrees F (134 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped from a spoon forms hard but pliable threads.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla, flavored extract and food coloring. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. When cooled enough to handle, remove candy from the pan, and pull until it loses its shine and becomes stiff. Pull into ropes, and use scissors to cut into 1 inch pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper.

HONEY AND CREAM TAFFY RECIPE RECIPE - (4/5)



Honey And Cream Taffy Recipe Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by DeliciouslyDished

Number Of Ingredients 9

Equipment:
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup cream, preferably grassfed
1 1/2 cups honey
1/8 tsp baking soda
candy thermometer
medium pot
medium baking pan
kitchen scissors

Steps:

  • Grease a medium-sized pan with butter and place in the refrigerator. In a medium-sized pot, combine cream and honey. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit so make sure there is a lot of room at the top, but you need the mixture to be deep enough to get a good reading with your candy thermometer. Cook over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook uncovered without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 280°. Remove from the heat and mix in the baking soda. Pour into your greased dish/baking pan, taking care not to scrape the sides of the pot. Now for the fun part! Wait until it is cool enough to handle, then pick it up with buttered hands and stretch until the taffy becomes a bit lighter and firm ridges form when you pull. Braid taffy into whatever design you like then trim with clean, buttered kitchen scissors.Wrap individually in waxed paper and store in the fridge/freezer.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
  • Stir the mixture constantly: This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Don't overcook the mixture: If you do, it will become hard and brittle.
  • Work quickly: The mixture will start to harden as it cools, so you need to work quickly to pour it into the pan.
  • Use a greased pan: This will help prevent the taffy from sticking.
  • Let the taffy cool completely before cutting it: This will help prevent it from becoming sticky.

Conclusion:

Honey and cream taffy is a delicious and easy-to-make candy. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this classic treat at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your taffy turns out perfectly.
