THE NEW ANNIE DENNIS COOK BOOK 355 CANDIES Cooked Fondant For cooked, as well as uncooked bon bons of the French varieties, a fondant, or cream, should first be prepared, which may be set aside to be used as wanted. For cooked creams, take four cupfuls of sugarCooked Fondant and water on a fire until it reaches the thread degree, then remove the pan to a table. Now take a small spoonful and rub well against the side of a cake bowl, and if it is creamy and will roll into a ball between the fingers, pour the whole into the bowl and beat rapidly with a large spoon or potato masher. If it is not boiled enough to cream, set it back on the range and let it remain as long as necessary, taking care not to cook it too much. It can be made into rolls and sliced off, or packed in plates and sliced off, or worked into any form desired. If, in working, the cream hardens, set it back on the range and let it remain as long as neces- sary in boiling water. Keep well covered in waxed paper. Do not let it get sugary or coarse.
