Pecan Praline Candy

1 c. buttermilk

2 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. baking soda

2 c. pecan halves

1 tsp. vanilla

1 T. butter

Place first three ingredients into large pan. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved, then place pan on a low to medium burner and let the candy boil to a soft ball stage, stirring constantly all the while. Mixture will turn a brownish color. When soft ball stage is reached, remove the pan from the heat. Add pecan halves, vanilla and butter. Beat mixture briskly until it becomes glossy and starts to get very thick. Quickly spoon it onto greased waxed paper, making little patties. Let candy completely cool before removing it from the paper. Should the mixture harden before you get time to get it all onto the paper, return it to the heat for a few seconds, or until it is again of the right consistency.
