Texas is famous for its pecans -- they
often grow right in the backyards -- so pralines are easy to
find as well. For Texans living far from home or anyone with
a sweet tooth, these pralines will fit the bill.
Heat sugar, milk and baking soda in a
heavy saucepan over medium heat until the mixture reaches the
soft ball stage, forming a soft ball when dropped into cold water
(234° to 236°F).
Remove from heat and stir in pecans, butter
and vanilla. Beat until well mixed; cool slightly.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper lightly
sprinkled with sugar.
Makes 12 pieces.
