Butter Pecan Pralines Instructions:In a large saucepan, combine sugar, baking soda, salt, butter, and buttermilk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the mixture becomes caramel-colored and reaches the soft ball stage (238*F.). Remove from the heat, add vanilla and pecans. Beat until thick enough to drop from a spoon onto wax paper. If the mixture becomes too hard, heat and add a small amount of water; stir until smooth. Makes 36 pieces..
