Mom'S Homemade Brown Sugar Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. brown sugar
4 c. white sugar
4 Tbsp. flour
1/2 c. (13 oz.) condensed milk
1 to 2 Tbsp. butter
milk enough to mix well
1 qt. nuts
wax (optional) to give gloss

Preparation

Combine sugar, flour and butter in a large saucepan. Gradually add milk and mix thoroughly.
Bring this to a boil, without stirring unless it is sticking.
Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water.
Remove from heat, place in a pan of cold water to cool.
When cool enough, candy should have a grain to it.
Add vanilla, then beat until candy begins to thicken. Quickly add nuts and scoop candy into a buttered 9 x 13-inch cake pan and spread around.
Cut when cooled.
