Butter Scotch
1 cup sugar
¼ cup molasses
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons boiling water
½ cup butter
Boil ingredients together until, when tried in cold water, mixture will become brittle. Turn into a well buttered pan; when slightly cool, mark with a sharp-pointed knife in squares. This candy is much improved by cooking a small piece of vanilla bean with other ingredients.
