| EASTER MINTS | |||
| 1/3 cup butter, softened 1/3 cup light corn syrup 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. flavoring (use any flavor extracts, lemon, mint, etc.) 3-1/2 cup confectioner's sugar |
|||
| Combine all the ingredients together. You may need to use your hands when the mixture gets to stiff. Once it stiffens, you must knead until it becomes smooth. You can now pinch off pieces and roll them into balls. Press them lightly with a fork to make a fancy butter mint. Place the mints on a cookie sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes until they become firm. Cover them tightly and keep refrigerated. Note: You may divide the mixture up and add food coloring to tint your mints. You may also do the same for the flavoring. This recipe makes about 1-1/2 lbs. of candy. |
