Directions:1. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Butter the foil.
2. Stir together the sugar, cream and corn syrup in an eight-cup glass measure or deep microwaveable bowl, stirring until the sugar lumps are dissolved.
3. Microwave on high for 13 minutes (this time varies according to microwave). Carefully remove; the bowl will be extremely hot.
4. Stir in the 4 tablespoons butter, pecans and vanilla. Beat by hand for 1 minute, until the mixture is noticeably less glossy.
5. Working quickly and using two tablespoons, drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared pans.
6. If the mixture thickens as it cools, add 1 to 3 additional teaspoons of cream and stir.
7. Let pralines cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. |
