Ingredients

2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 cups pecan halves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, buttermilk and baking soda. Cook and stir over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 210°.

Stir in butter and pecans; cook until thermometer reads 230°. Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture loses its gloss and begins to set, about 8 minutes. Quickly drop by teaspoonfuls onto foil-lined baking sheets. Cool.
