Measure sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt into saucepan; cook and stir
over low heat until dissolved. Increase heat until mixture boils; cook,
without stirring, to the very hard ball stage (265F). During this cooking
the crystals which form on sides of pan should be wiped down with a damp
cloth wrapped around the tines of a fork. Have egg whites stiffly beaten;
gradually pour hot syrup over them. Add flavoring. Pour into oiled pan 8″
square. While still warm, cut into squares.
Variations:
1. Orange: Replace vanilla with 3 tbsp grated orange rind.
2. Almond: Add 1/3 cup almonds which have been blanched and finely
chopped. Also use almond flavoring instead of vanilla if desired.
