Ingredients

1 c. brown sugar
2 c. white sugar
1 c. evaporated milk
3 Tbsp. white corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. maple flavoring
1 c. broken pecans
1/2 c. pecan halves

Preparation

Cook sugars, milk, syrup and salt to soft ball stage (236\u00b0). Remove from heat.

Add broken pecans and drop from a spoon into cakes on waxed paper placed on a cookie sheet.
Press pecan halves into surface, working quickly because pralines harden rapidly!
