New Orleans Pralines

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
• 2 cups whole pecans
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• dash salt
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• wax paper

Instructions

1. Combine the sugars, pecans, buttermilk, and salt into a large, heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir gently but consistently until the sugar dissolves. 
2. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to wash down the sugar crystals from the sides.
3. Uncover and, stirring constantly, to 234 degrees on a candy thermometer. This is called the soft ball stage.
4. Immediately remove from heat and stir in baking soda and vanilla. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to thicken. 
5. Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Let stand until firm.
