Instructions

Butter a square tin about 20 cm wide and line it with baking paper.
In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the sugar, milk, cream and salt over medium heat, stirring until fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then let it simmer without stirring for about 15 minutes, until a drop dropped into cold water forms a soft ball.
Remove from the heat, add the butter in pieces and the vanilla, then stir constantly with a spatula.
Let it cool for about 5 minutes, then beat vigorously until the mixture thickens and loses its shine.
Fold in the nuts if using, pour into the tin and smooth the surface.
Let it cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
