Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Buttermilk |
| 1/3 cup | Bourbon |
| 2 tablespoons | Butter |
| 1/8 teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 cups | Pecan pieces |
| 1 teaspoon | Baking soda |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients – sugar, buttermilk, bourbon, butter, salt, pecan pieces, and baking soda.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, buttermilk, bourbon, butter, and salt. Stir gently over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
-
Cook Pecans: Once the sugar has dissolved, add the pecan pieces to the saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. This helps wash down any sugar crystals from the sides of the pan.
-
Check Temperature: Uncover the saucepan and continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage or until a candy thermometer reads 235°F.
-
Add Baking Soda: Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the baking soda. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon just until it starts to thicken, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
-
Form Pralines: Working rapidly, drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls onto greased wax paper. Allow the pralines to stand until they become firm.
-
Enjoy: Once the Bourbon Pralines have cooled and set, indulge in their irresistible flavor. Share them with friends and family, or savor them as a delightful treat anytime!
