Pronounced prawleens -- these New Orleans confections are easy to make and popular with everyone. Ang and Tommy Forsyth requested this recipe and I posted it on their blog -- I share it here to make it more available for others.
2 c. sugar
¾ c. buttermilk
1/8 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. butter
2 c. pecans
1 tsp. baking soda (added in the last step)
Combine all ingredients except the last one, soda. Cook in the microwave on high (be sure to use a large bowl that is microwave safe) for three cycles of four minutes, stirring between each four minutes (for a total of 12 minutes cooking time - the mixture wil bubble up). After the three cycles, stir in baking soda and cook two more minutes on high. Beat the cooked mixture until it begins to look smooth and thicker. Then drop by spoonfuls on greased waxed paper or on aluminum foil.
Be sure to store in an airtight container.

Oh my gosh! I LOVE pralines. I will be trying this recipe this week. I had no idea they could be made in the microwave...so stoked about that!
I can't believe you do them in the microwave! I am SO making them as soon as I go grocery shopping next week!
I went shopping today for pecans and buttermilk (now to figure out what to do with the rest of the buttermilk, since they only had a qt. size). I just finished making them and they were so easy and yummy. I think my microwave cooks a little high (it overcooks lots of things) so I might tweak the times and cook it a little less next time because they are just a tad bit grainy. They are still yummy, though! TFS!
