Is this the recipe you can pull?
Jamanda

No. I think Fee has one in the data base too though -here - This looks as though it would be lighter than mine (my great gran's actually), but still not of pulling consistency. Isn't that what is called taffy?

Mine turned out as a 'bash with a rolling pin' type. Fine if you like that type but not what I wanted.

My Mum makes the most exquisite chewy 'taffi triog' (not sure who's recipe) ...much, much nicer - I'll ask her for the recipe.

Mine turned out a bit softer than I like it. In fact I think you could pull it! But it tastes good. (Last time I trust that darned thermometer thingy)

At our village show, that appears to be the desirable quality. The cookery judges always ask for a knife to bash it with if they didn't come armed with their own hammer!

Really?!
Gosh, sounds like I've made the grade then Smile

I was a bit puzzled by the 2 x tblsp of white vinegar in the recipe but it solidified after about 5 mins boiling. Wondering if it was some chemical reaction.
