3-Ingredient Buttermilk Pecan Pralines
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 15 min | Makes: 18
Ingredients: 1½ cups sugar • ½ cup buttermilk • 1½ cups pecan halves (plus ½ tsp baking soda and 2 tbsp butter)
Directions: Combine the sugar, buttermilk, baking soda, and butter in a large heavy pot and boil, stirring constantly, until it reaches 236°F and turns light caramel in color. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. Beat 1-2 minutes until it thickens and loses its gloss, then drop spoonfuls onto parchment quickly. Let set 30 minutes. Be careful, as the sugar is very hot.
