Divinity (1)
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
In a heavy saucepan put corn syrup, water and sugar. Cook over medium heat until spins a thread. Cook to 255 degrees. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add syrup to the egg whites in a fine stream, beating continually. Beat until it turns a little dull, not shiny. Add vanilla. Don’t add the vanilla until the candy begins to turn or it will never set up. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.
