Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ cup buttermilk (whole, not reduced fat)
- 1 ½ tablespoons light corn syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup pecans chopped and toasted
- 1 ½ teaspoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Combine the sugar, buttermilk, corn syrup, baking soda and salt in a heavy bottomed, large saucepan.
- Cook over low heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring constantly.
- Continue cooking over low heat and stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 234 degrees (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer (about 10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the nuts, butter and vanilla.
- Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture just begins to lose its shine and hold its shape (anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes).
- Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
- Let stand until completely cool and set.
Notes
- When stored at room temperature in a closed container, pralines will last up to two weeks. They can be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
- Substitute any type of nuts you like. Although pecans are traditional, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, cashews, and more all work very well.
