1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
Thoroughly combine day ingredients in a heavy 4-qt. saucepan; stir in milk. Add two tablespoons of cornsyrup. Bring to a bubbly boil on a medium heat, stirring constantly. Then let boil without siring. Test by putting a little fudge in a glass of cold water. You can tell the fudge is ready when you can form a ball after you have put it in cold water. Remove from heat add butter and vanilla. Beat until it starts to thicken and looses some of its gloss.   Quickly spread on a buttered dish. (you can add nuts to this recipe if you like)
The secret to making old fashion fudge is that when you test the fudge you never put a wet spoon back into the fudge mixture you are cooking. It adds moisture and takes longer for it to cook down. Always use a dry spoon. The corn syrup helps it to set up.
