Pralines
Pralines are a confection of nuts coated in caramelized sugar, made by cooking sugar to hard-crack stage and mixing with roasted nuts. The mixture is dropped onto parchment and cooled until firm and crispy.
Ingredients
Method
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place within arm's reach of the stovetop.
Combine sugar and cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Stop stirring and attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Heat the mixture until it reaches 238°F (soft-ball stage), about 8–10 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Add vanilla extract, salt, and roasted nuts. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes thick and grainy, approximately 1–2 minutes.
Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment paper, spacing them 1 inch apart.
Allow pralines to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes until completely firm and crispy.
