* Ingredients :
°1 ½ cups sugar
°¾ cup dark brown sugar
°½ cup whole milk
°1 teaspoon vanilla extract
°6 tablespoons real butter
°1 ½ cups pecans, coarsely chopped
* Methods :
Spread wax paper and a tablespoon on your work surface before you start the pralines. Next, combine all ingredients in a 4-quart saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring often, until the butter is melted and the sugars are dissolved. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium-high – let the mixture continue to boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. It will bubble up quite high, so never leave it on, even just for a second. After 3 minutes of boiling and stirring, remove the pan from the heat and stir constantly for 2 minutes. It will start to thicken. Now (using a tablespoon you would eat soup with) drop onto the waxed paper, working quickly. Let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes. store in an airtight container. This recipe makes 12 to 14 pralines. They are delicious on their own or broken up on vanilla ice cream J Caution: be very careful when preparing them as the candy mixture becomes very hot and be attentive to the weather. Very humid days can make these adjustments difficult.
Enjoy !
