Southern Creamy Pralines - ♥ ♥ ✔ “Share” This photo to save the recipe to your page This is a very old family recipe that we have been using since my great great grandmother. It was originally made in a cast iron dutch pot. We love it and there is no other recipe as rich as this one. Pralines are a big part of our Cajun family and we make them all the time. I know you will enjoy this as much as we do. 3 cups sugar 1 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup light corn syrup 1 pinch salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 quart pecans Combine sugar, buttermilk, corn syrup and salt in a very large pan (it will foam considerably when soda is added) and bring to a nice 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 teaspoons on a well greased cookie sheet, foil or wax paper.(DO IT FAST before the candy hardens)
