• 4 c. sugar
• 1 c. light corn syrup
• 3/4 c. water
• 3 egg whites, stiffly beaten
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 c. broken nuts

Place first three ingredients in saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then cook without stirring to 255 degrees (a little dropped into cold water forms a hard ball.) Remove from heat and pour, beating in a fine stream into stiffly beaten egg whites. Continue beating until mixture holds its shape and loses its gloss. Add nuts and vanilla.

Drop quickly from tip of spoon onto waxed paper in individual peaks. . . or spread in a buttered pan and cut into 1-inch squares when firm. 8 dozen pieces.
