I got this recipe years and years ago from a pamphlet put out by the North Carolina Agricultural Commission. It's absolutely the best peanut brittle I've ever had.
Ingredients:
Baking soda - 2 tsp
Butter - 2 Tbsp
Light corn syrup - 1 C
Peanuts – (raw, shelled, and with skins left ON) - 4 C
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Sugar - 2 C
Water - 1/2 C
In a heavy saucepan, heat syrup, water, sugar, and salt to a rolling boil. Add peanuts. Reduce heat to medium & stir constantly until syrup spins a thread (293 degrees Fahrenheit). Add butter, then baking soda. Beat rapidly & pour on a buttered surface, spreading to 1/4" thickness. When cool, break in pieces.
Store in an airtight container.
Makes ~ 1 pound.
