Butter Scotch

1 cup sugar 14 cup molasses 1½ cup butter 1 tablespoon vinegar 2 tablespoons boiling water Boil ingredients together until, when tried in cold water, mixture will become brittle. Turn into a well buttered pan; when slightly cool, mark with a sharp-pointed knife in squares. This candy is much improved by cooking a small piece of vanilla bean with other ingredients.
