Ingredients

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup evaporated milk

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup chopped or whole pecans

1 pinch baking soda

Directions

Butter cookie sheet or line with waxed paper.

Cook sugar and milk over medium heat, stirring until mixture starts to boil.

Add butter, pecans and soda.

Cook, stirring occasionally until it reaches the soft-boil stage (when a bit of the candy dropped in cold water forms a soft ball) or 238o on a candy thermometer.

Remove from fire, add vanilla and beat with spoon until mixture is creamy and begins to thicken.

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. (If mixture becomes too hard, return to heat and add a little water).

Makes 12 large or 24 small pralines.

This recipe is from Lamothe House, New Orleans, Louisiana

Another wonderful post as this is my favorite candy in the whole world! I was born in Louisiana and bottle fed these - lol! My recipe calls for buttermilk and never seem to have any when the mood strike to make them. Now I don't have to wait - I always have evap milk in the cupboard. Thanks, thanks, thanks!
