Delicious Pecan Patties Recipes

PECAN PATTIES

Steps:

• In heavy saucepan, pour milk, sugar, and salt.
• Cook on medium heat, stirring often (do not scorch) until boiling.
• Boil on medium, stirring, until temperature on candy thermometer reaches 235, which is "soft-ball stage".
• To test for soft-ball stage, get a glass measuring cup with very cold water in it. Drop a bit of candy into the cup, and reach into the cup with your finger and push the candy around into a ball. If it shapes and stays, then it's ready. If not, cook a little more keeping a close eye on the temperature. DO NOT PASS 235, or they will not be the right texture and consistency.
• Remove the mixture from the heat, using a hot pad on counter AND pan, quickly add butter, vanilla, and pecans.
• Beat with a spoon until butter is melted and mixture thickens.
• The thickness you want is where it spreads into a circle on the paper but almost has to be pushed off the spoon. (Do NOT use a metal pan or they will not set properly)
• Spoon onto paper into two-inch patties.
• Let the patties cool completely before storing in airtight container in cool place.
