Ingredients:  
3 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
1 tablespoon water
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt

Directions:
Directions:
Combine sugar, water and butter in heavy 4-quart saucepan and stir over medium heat until all sugar is dissolved. Cover pan for 2 or 3 minutes to steam down last remaining sugar crystals. Drizzle the cream into the sugar mixture slowly, so that the boiling never stops Reduce heat to very slow boil to eliminate danger of scorching.
Continue to boil slowly without stirring until candy forms a very firm ball. This would be hard ball degrees on a candy thermometer.
Pour candy out on a butter marble slab and allow to cool until you can pick it up comfortably. Pull for a minute or so until it firms up somewhat then form candy into a ring. Now repeatedly stretch the circle of candy and fold it on itself into a small circle again. Keep pulling the circle and folding it always keeping it round.
This technique is much easier than pulling it out long. When it holds it shape well, drip the vanilla over it. Pull until it looks "dusty", and the ridges hold up well.
Pull candy out into a rope about 2 inches wide on buttered marble and cut with scissors into "pillows" and 1/2-inch wide. Leave on cool marble until it "creams,".
Store in an air tight container.
