BARLEY SUGAR. (England.) This is a favorite candy with English school- children, and it is more harmless than most confections. Dissolve any amount needed, say i pound of granulated sugar, in only enough water to moisten. Cook it until clear and it will crack when dropped in water. Flavor with the juice of a lemon

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
