*Note: Evaporated milk may be substituted for the whipping cream if
desired. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside. In a heavy 4-quart
saucepan, combine milk, water, corn syrup, butter, sugar and salt. Place
over medium-high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture comes to a
boil. Clip on candy thermometer. Stirring constantly, cook to 238 F (115 C)
