4 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Put sugar, cream of tartar and water in pan
and stir until dissolved. Cook slowly until it forms a soft ball
in cold water. Pour on oiled platter, and as the edges begin to
harden, turn toward center. When mixture is partly cooled, work
with butter paddle until creamy. When it begins to lump, knead with
hand until smooth. Let stand few hours before using. Use any flavoring.
(1 teaspoon coffee to each cup fondant maple sugar syrup.)
