from Mom

4 cups brown sugar

2 tbsp. Flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup top milk or thin cream

4 tbsp. Butter

few grains salt

1/2 to 1 tsp. Vanilla (to taste)

nuts if desired

Mix all ingredients together. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture forms a soft ball when tested in water. Add the vanilla (1/2 to 1 tsp. Per taste) and beat adding nuts if desired.

It is noted that using a mixer takes a lot of the work out of it.
