    New Orleans pralines -- and that's pronounced PRAH-leens, to set the record straight -- are unique among pralines. They contain butter and milk to give them a softer, almost chewy texture. The taste is addictive.

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 Tbs light corn sugar
    • 3 cups pecan halves
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract

    Directions

    1. Place 2 large parchment paper sheets on baking sheets.
    2. Butter parchment paper. Set aside.
    3. Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a heavy 2 quart saucepan over medium heat.
    4. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often.
    5. Cook to soft-ball stage, 234 F.
    6. Remove from heat.
    7. Stir in vanilla.
    8. Stir briskly until mixture loses its glossy sheen.
    9. WORKING QUICKLY, drop mixture by tablespoons onto buttered parchment paper.
    10. Let pralines cool completely before removing from paper.
    11. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
