Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread pecans out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fragrant. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, stir together the confectioners' sugar, white sugar, buttermilk, heavy cream, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When the mixture begins to boil, start stirring gently with a wooden spoon, and continue cooking until the mixture is slightly above the soft ball stage to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Remove from heat, and stir in baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will expand some while stirring. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then stir in pecans. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture loses its gloss. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper that has been coated with butter flavored non-stick spray. Allow to cool completely.

AUTHENTIC LOUISIANA RED BEANS AND RICE
Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice; these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl.

Steps:
- Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Have 2 small spoons ready for scooping. Bring the cream, sugar, corn syrup and orange zest to a gentle simmer in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally with a whisk or wooden spoon (do not let the cream mixture boil over). Simmer, stirring, until the mixture is thickened and light brown in color and a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage), 20 to 30 minutes (start by stirring occasionally, then switch to stirring constantly when the mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pan). Stir in the pecans and salt; the temperature will drop at least 5 degrees F to 10 degrees F.
- Continue to simmer, stirring, until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pan (the thermometer should register 246 degrees F to 247 degrees F). To test for doneness, drop a quarter-size amount onto a prepared baking sheet: The mixture should hold a rounded shape and look dull; if it runs out flat, continue cooking.
- Use the small spoons to spoon about quarter-size mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Let sit until cool, set and dry, 30 minutes to 1 hour. If the pralines are still too soft to pick up after a few hours, let them sit in a cool, dry place, uncovered, for 1 or 2 days. Once dry, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Place all ingredients in a heavy skillet & bring to "soft ball" stage (238-240 degrees), stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat & stir until mixture thickens, becoming cloudy & creamy and the pecans stay suspended in mixture.
- Spoon out onto waxed paper or aluminum foil. Yield: approx 2 doz, depending on size.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will result in the best flavor and texture for your pralines.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Pralines require precise measurements and cooking times. If you don't follow the recipe carefully, you may end up with a batch of pralines that are too hard, too soft, or not properly flavored.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the pralines from burning.
- Cook the pralines over low heat: This will help to prevent them from crystallizing.
- Stir the pralines constantly: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the pralines: This is the best way to ensure that they are cooked to the proper temperature.
- Be patient: Making pralines takes time. Don't rush the process, or you may end up with a batch of pralines that are not properly cooked.
Conclusion:
Making pralines is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little practice, you'll be able to make delicious pralines that will impress your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try!
