Southern Creamy Pralines


INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups sugar.
  • 1 cup whole fat buttermilk.
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
  • 1 pinch salt.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • 4 cups of pecans.


DIRECTION: 

  • Combine sugar, buttermilk, corn syrup and salt in very large pan (it will foam considerably when soda is added) and bring to a rice rolling boil. Add soda, stir and cook until soft ball is formed when dropped in cold water.
  • at 235 F on Candy thermometer, the syrup is at the "soft ball' stage. That means that when you drop a bit of it into cold water to cool it down, it will form a soft ball. *** 
  • Then remove from heat and add vanilla. Beat until color changes and candy thickens. Stir in pecans. Drop by teaspoon on a Well greased non stick cookie sheet, foil or wax paper. If you do not grease your pan well it will stick (DO IT FAST before the candy hardens) *** I drop mine on foil***.
