Ingredients for Buttercups
  • 2 cups molasses
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ cup boiling water
  • Fondant flavored with vanilla

Instructions
  1. Boil ingredients (except fondant) until, when tried in cold water, a firm ball may be formed in the fingers, not stirring until the last few minutes of cooking.
  2. Pour on a buttered platter, and when cool enough to handle, pull until light-colored.
  3. Shape on a floured board, having strip wide enough to enclose a roll of fondant one inch in diameter.
  4. Place fondant on candy, bring edges of candy together, and press firmly over fondant.
  5. With both hands pull candy into a long strip.
  6. Cut in small pieces; each piece will consist of fondant encircled with molasses candy.
  7. Care must be taken that candy is not cooked too long, as it should be soft rather than brittle.
