The second in a praline quartet from The Times-Picayune. Make these on a low humidity day - they'll turn out better (that'll be next fall or winter here LOL).

4 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups ice water
2 tablespoons butter
4-4 1/2 cups pecan halves

Directions

1
Using a 6 quart saucepan- cook 1st three ingredients on medium-high heat to 234° to 240° degrees soft-ball candy stage. When a small quantity of syrup is dropped in ice water- it forms a ball that keeps its shape - but when removed from the water- it will flattens out by itself.
2
Stir frequently to prevent burning. As pralines cooks- it turns a golden brown. Remove from heat, and stir butter in . Add pecans and stir to coat all nuts.
3
Cover counter with wax paper- pour pecans onto it.
4
Immediately separate pecans. Let cool.
