Directions:
In deep Dutch oven, combine sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in buttermilk and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly (mixture will expand to over 3x its original volume). Cook and stir to "soft ball" stage (234º) - approx. 40 minutes.

Remove from heat. Add butter and pecans. Beat until mixture thickens - 5-6minutes. Quickly drop mixture by the tablespoon full onto waxed paper. If candy stiffens too quickly, add 1 teaspoon of hot water.

Personal Notes:
Timing is critical on this recipe. The cooled candies should be cloudy and crisp, not clear and sticky. If they're coming out clear and crisp, beat longer.
