Annie's Pecan Pralines


I have been making these pralines for 20 years. They are creamy, not sticky, and do not have that gritty sugar texture.

Steps


Combine in a large pan the sugar , soda , buttermilk and salt.
Cook briskly , stirring occasionally , for 5 minutes.
Add butter and pecans.
Cook for approximately 5 minutes more , or until mixture reaches softball stage.
Remove from heat and beat until just creamy.
Drop by spoonsful onto waxed paper.
Store in airtight containers.
