- 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.
