1/4 cup dry powdered milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup corn syrup
cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Food coloring, if desired

Preparation

1
Combine confectioners' sugar, powdered milk, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Add the dry milk mixture to the saucepan, and stir to combine. Let mixture rest for a few minutes until it is cool enough to handle.
5
Divide dough into 3 equal parts and place each portion in a bowl. Add coloring as desired.
6
Knead each portion of dough until the coloring is evenly distributed and the dough is smooth and stiff.
7
Roll each portion into a rope about 1/2 inch thick.
8
Place the three ropes of dough next to each other to form a long rectangle. Use a rolling pin to gently press them together.
9
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into triangles and place on a baking sheet. Let set for about 1 hour.
