This is a New Orleans recipe and is very similar to a praline. You can make them in little mini muffin papers, or you can simply drop spoonfuls onto wax paper if you prefer. Recipe courtesy; Southern Plate Cookbook Christy Jordan
Ingredients
- One 1 pound box confectioner's sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (do not substitute margarine) shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 cups pecan halves shopping list
- 1/2 cup boiling water shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
How to make it
- In a large saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the vanilla. Place over medium heat, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and continue cooking, stirring only enough to prevent scorching, to the soft-ball stage, 238* on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla, and stir until the miture begins to thicken.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each of 36 tiny muffin papers. Allow to cool completely.
