1/2 c. sugar
1 T. water
1 t. butter
1/4 t. baking soda
Directions:
Directions:
Melt butter in iron skillet. Add molasses, water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Continue to cook slowly and stirring occasionally and check often by dropping a drop in cold water to determine when it becomes a hard ball when dropped in the water.(this is called the "hard ball" stage"). Remove from heat and add baking soda and stir well and pour into a well greased pan. When it is cool enough to handle, butter lots of hands and each one pull until light and porous. Cut into small pieces and place on a buttered plate.

Personal Notes:
Mary would invite several friends home with her and - well you guessed it - I would pull it out at arms-length and see how close I could sling it by Jumby's head. We thought it was fun. He didn't! But he loved the candy! We liked to make this on New Year's Eve, but it is fun to make anytime..
