Instructions

Butter a square tin about 20 cm wide or line it with baking paper.
In a thick-bottomed saucepan, heat the sugar, milk and salt over medium heat, stirring until fully dissolved.
Bring gently to the boil, then cook without stirring for about 10 to 12 minutes, until a drop of cold water in a glass forms a soft ball.
Take off the heat, add the butter and vanilla, then leave to cool slightly for 5 minutes without touching it.
Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and loses its shine, which takes about 5 minutes.
Stir in the walnuts if you're using them, pour into the tin and smooth the top.
Leave to set at room temperature for 2 hours, then cut into squares.
