. 1 pound granulated sugar.

1/2 cup water,

1 ounce butter - guinea-egg size.

4 drops oil of lemon.

Boil all together, except the flavoring about 10 or 15 minutes. Try by dropping a little in cold water. It must set hard and brittle. Do not stir it at all except two turns to mix in the oil of lemon. Pour into a buttered shallow pan, mark off while cooling, and cut in square caramels. Wrap in wax paper.
