Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- cup sugar 207 g
- cup packed light brown sugar 225 g
- /4 cup heavy whipping cream 180 mL
- tbsp. Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed 56 g
- /8 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 cups (
- 212g) pecan halves
- /2 teaspoon of salt
- teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Lay out parchment paper for making the pralines and have a tablespoon about the size of a tablespoon and ready to use.
- Add everything except the pecans, salt and vanilla extract to a medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stirring until it begins to foam & boil.
- When it starts to foam and boil, stir constantly until it reaches 236 degrees.
- Remove from the heat and add the pecans, salt and vanilla extract.
- Stirring vigorously with a rubber spatula about 3 1/2 min . The longer you stir, the thicker the mixture becomes. You don’t want it to get too thick, otherwise it will be difficult to pick up the pralines and they will dry out firmer.
- Quickly drop tablespoons of the mixture on parchment paper and allow them to cool and firm. If the mixture is too fine and spreads out more than you want, stir a little more. If the mixture starts to cool too much as you pick it up, put it back on the hot burner (but don’t turn it on) and let it keep the mixture warmer. I find it helpful to stir the mixture every few spoons.
- When the pralines are fresh and firm, store them in an airtight container.
- ENJOY !
