  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans

In a large, heavy saucepan, cook sugar, baking soda, buttermilk, and butter to soft ball stage (240 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Stir frequently while cooking.

When mixture reaches soft ball stage, remove from heat and beat until mixture lightens in color and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla and pecans.

Drop by scant tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet. Allow to cool completely and harden for at least 12 hours.
