How to Make Ada Perez Pralines
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup pecan halves.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Stir until well combined.
- Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and loses its shine (about 5-7 minutes).
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto wax paper. Let cool completely until set (about 10-12 minutes). Enjoy!
