Pralines
I had pralines in New Orleans and loved them, so I tried different combos and liked this one best.
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups toasted pecans
-
1 ½ cups white sugar
-
¾ cup brown sugar
-
½ cup milk
-
⅜ cup butter
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Description
-
Gather all ingredients. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
-
Combine pecans, white sugar, brown sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Do not stir once mixture begins to boil. Heat to 240 degrees F (115 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water and placed on a flat surface.
-
Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.
