Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place the molasses, corn syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, vinegar, cream of tartar and half the butter in a pot.
Step 2
Bring to a boil over low heat until the mixture registers 140 degrees Celcius/260 degrees° Fahrenheit.
Step 3
Stir for 5 to 10 minutes. The mixture has to reach the "ball" stage, meaning it's ready when you drop a little of it into a small bowl of cold water and it forms a ball.
Step 4
Mix in the baking soda.
Step 5
Pour into buttered dishes and let cool slightly until you can pick the taffy up without burning your hands.
Step 6
Butter your hands well and begin pulling: pull, fold in half, and repeat the process until the taffy is pale golden, and almost white. If it sticks to your hands, put a little more butter on them.
Step 7
Pull one last time and twist up tightly in small lengths. Cut into pieces with scissors.
Step 8
Place on a buttered plate or wrap in waxed paper.
