FONDANT

The Blue Grass Cook Book
Compiled by Minnie C. Fox (1904)


FONDANT
Miss Mary Bashford

1 pound of sugar,

1 saltspoon of cream of tartar,

1 teacup of cold water.



Stir all together, and boil till it forms a jelly-like consistency when tried in cold water.

When done, take from stove and let stand 10 minutes.

Then beat well till a creamy mass.

This fondant is the foundation for a variety of candies.
