Mom's Homemade Brown Sugar Candy

Combine sugar, flour and butter in a large saucepan. Gradually add milk and mix thoroughly.

Bring this to a boil, without stirring unless it is sticking.

Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water.

Remove from heat, place in a pan of cold water to cool.

When cool enough, candy should have a grain to it.

Add vanilla, then beat until candy begins to thicken. Quickly add nuts and scoop candy into a buttered 9 x 13-inch cake pan and spread around.

Cut when cooled.
