Yield Makes 1 dozen 2-inch pralines

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
5 ounces pecan halves (1 1/3 cups), toasted

Steps:

Line a baking sheet with parchment. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in granulated and brown sugars, salt, and sour cream. Raise heat to medium-low, and cook, whisking frequently, until sugar has dissolved. Raise heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping sides of pan with a spatula, until mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (240 degrees), 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Carefully stir in bourbon and vanilla (mixture will steam and bubble). Let cool, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Add pecans, and beat vigorously with a spoon until slightly opaque but still creamy, about 2 minutes.
Drop spoonfuls onto baking sheet. (If mixture in pan begins to harden, stir in 1 teaspoon hot water, as often as needed; if it becomes runny, stir until firm.) Let stand until set, about 30 minutes.

Stir together brown sugar, granulated sugar, cream, and molasses in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugars dissolve and mixture begins to boil, about 5 minutes.
Boil, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer registers 240°F or mixture begins to thicken and form a soft ball when a small amount is dropped from a spoon into a bowl of cold water, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove pan from heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in butter, pecans, vanilla, and salt. Continue to stir vigorously until mixture is thick and just begins to lose its gloss, 9 to 11 minutes. Working quickly, drop heaping tablespoons of mixture 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheet. Cool completely, 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
