Whether you pronounce them prah-lines or pray-lines, they are southern confectionery favorite. These delicious treats are a favorite among our customers, however we cannot always keep up with them. Since pralines taste better made fresh we only make ours once a week and when they are gone they are gone!
At Sweet Pete's we believe in keeping our confections simple, clean and delicious. The praline is no different. We make ours with fresh, whole ingredients and recommend you do the same. Please see our simple, traditional recipe and feel free to call the shoppe if you have any questions!
Recipe:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup milk
3 cup toasted pecans (toast in oven at 450 degrees for 5 minutes)
1 pinch salt
1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract
Heat butter on high heat, mix in brown sugar, granulated sugar and mix
thoroughly.
Add milk & pecans
Stir all together and bring to a boil over high heat.
Let boil for 20 minutes until thick 240 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Take off heat and add salt and vanilla.
Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
Use spoons to portion out golf ball sized portions on a greased cookie
sheet.
