How to Make Buttermilk Pecan Pralines Cook Em Horns
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer) and turns a rich caramel color. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup pecan halves.
- Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until it begins to thicken and loses its shine. It should be thick enough to drop from a spoon in a rounded shape.
- If the mixture becomes too hard to stir, return the pan to very low heat and add a teaspoon of water at a time, stirring until smooth.
- Drop rounded spoonfuls of praline mixture onto a sheet of wax paper.
- Let the pralines cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
