Directions
-
Alex Patout swears his recipe makes "The creamiest pralines anywhere" Butter a medium saucepan--this will
-
make it easier to clean later.
-
Pour in the cream and place over high heat.
-
When it begins to boil, add the sugar and stir rapidly until it dissolves.
-
Then
-
stir in the vanilla and pecans and continue to
-
cook over medium
-
heat , stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (236F (113&# 194;°C) on the candy thermometer).
-
Remove from heat and quickly beat in the butter--this helps arrest the cooking process.
-
The candy should lose its glossy color and become very cloudy.
-
Lay out a long strip of waxed paper on a work surface.
-
Moisten it with a damp towel.
-
Drop good-sized spoonfuls of the hot praline mixture onto the waxed paper, stirring the mixture occasionally as you go along to keep it well combined.
-
Remove the pralines from the paper before they have cooled completely--later on it will be hard to
-
remove them without breaking them.
-
Store in tightly sealed containers, with layers of waxed paper in between.
