peanut brittle, the american version of gajak. a deliciously simple candy to make. this is my first batch, and it tastes even better than it looks.

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. white syrup
1/2 stick butter
1 1/2 c. raw peanuts
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. soda

Mix together sugar, butter, syrup and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, at medium heat until spins a thread. Add peanuts and cook until light golden brown (sort of scorchy). Remove from heat and add soda. Stir thoroughly. Pour onto greased cookie sheet and spread thin.
