This was my mother's recipe that I have used for years! My whole family just loves these pralines and they make great gifts in a nice tin. It is so easy and takes so little time.
Ingredients
-
1 pkgbutterscotch pudding (small package -- not instant)
-
1 cwhite sugar
-
1/2 cbrown sugar
-
1 Tbspbutter
-
1/2 cevaporated milk
-
1 1/2 cpecan halves
-
1 tspvanilla extract
How to Make Quick Southern Pralines
- Mix sugars, small pudding mix, milk and butter in a medium sauce pan
- Cook over low heat until it comes to a boil. Continue cooking gently until the soft-ball stage (about 10 minutes). You must stir it constantly to keep from sticking.
- Stir in nuts and vanilla extract.
- Remove from heat and beat until mixture begins to thicken. It will still be a bit thin. Drop by tablespoon onto parchment paper to cool. If it gets too thick, reheat it until it gets thinner.
Cool. - (Do not double up on the recipe; rather make this recipe one at a time. Otherwise it will get too thick before you can get it on the parchment paper)
