WM. M. BELL'S "PILOT"
95

While pulling flavor pretty strong with peppermint and after the batch is nice and white place a piece of fondant on it (about one pound) and pull in good. After pulling place on table and pull out in strips as long as your butter-cup cutter and about as thick as your finger. After the whole batch is pulled out then start and cut. Use a good deal of powdered sugar on the table and allow to set over night. The next morning they should be grained through and ready for store. Make some yellow and flavor lemon, some orange, some green with lime flavor, etc.
