Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Mix together one cup of powdered sugar, one-half of a cup of maple syrup, one-fourth of a cup of cream and a few grains of salt.
  2. Bring to the boiling point and let boil until a soft ball may be formed, when mixture is tried in cold water.
  3. Remove from range and beat until the mixture is creamy.
  4. Add one cup of pecan nut meats, cut in pieces.
  5. Drop from tip of spoon in oblong piles on buttered paper.
