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.

Texan Pralines

2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups whole shelled pecans
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. 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).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in pecans, butter and vanilla. Beat until well mixed; cool slightly.
  3. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper lightly sprinkled with sugar.

Makes 12 pieces.
