My grandma (the one I am always telling you about) made the best candy for the holidays...she made these every year along with dozens more. About 30 years ago we were so poor that we couldn't afford Christmas gifts for family, so I decided to make candy. Chocolate covered cherries and peanut butter cups were decided on. OMG...were they a hit! Those cherries were to die for...I doubled dipped them. Everyone talked about that candy for years. Only problem they expected them every year! HA

[@carolynpurser7469]

Pralines are one of my favorite candies! I've never attempted to make them myself though.

[@TheEternalSpiral]

My maternal grandmother gave the recipe to me when I was young. She got it off the back of a bag of sugar. I made these a lot for the holidays, both with and without vanilla. Both versions tasted good...just a little different. In one of my moves, long ago, I lost the recipe and couldn't remember all of the ingredients. My grandmother was gone, and the sugar company no longer featured this recipe on their bag, so I was lost. I searched for the pralines that used granulated sugar (not brown sugar) and buttermilk. This is the recipe that I remember making. Thank you for bringing it back to me.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are welcome 🤗 thank you for watching!!

[@lyndabeckham2340]

I was able to turn back the clock to the 1950’s. You became my Grandmas voice. Every step except the thermometer. Candy was tested to a soft or hard ball in cool water.

[@bethdavis7812]

My son went to Tulane University in New Orleans and bought some Pecan Pralines home one time that his friend's mother made. He loved them as I did and ask for the recipe. I have used it every Christmas for 30 plus years. To me they are not true Southern Pralines if they are not made with buttermilk----delicious! It is the same as yours but different variation on some of amounts of ingredients. Your girls were so cute as little ones, what a handful but lovingly so.

[@constant4534]

You did a really demonstration . Clear and precise.

[@sallyblatchford1585]

I’ve been invited to my daughter’s for Thanksgiving but we’re actually then going to go to her hub’s elderly aunt’s home as she lost her beloved husband this past year. These will be one of the things I’ll take along with me :)

[@dianaw.571]

Mmmm! I love pralines! I've made them a few times, but I'd love to try your recipe with buttermilk. Thank you for sharing.

[@loubelle385]

Tipper, in my humble opinion, I think your hair looks so pretty brushed back on the top! Just wanted to let you know! 😊

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Oh thank you!

[@kimmarkey8076]

I always say "you can't get a good praline north of the Mason-Dixson line". Guess I can now if I make your recipe!

[@CjandPepe]

They look divine! I lack the patience you possess! 💕

[@Rudymk-ph2xb]

I call it a buggy.❤ My grandmother made Buttermilk Pralines, and I absolutely loved them. She made them without a recipe, and they were absolutely perfect every time. I don't remember her using recipes much for anything.😊

[@rg1599]

Never heard it called a stove eye in Texas. We just call it a burner. I’m going to try this recipe.

[@lolaottinger6976]

Same.

[@petersmith7062]

Thanks for this wonderful video. I'm a twin too and my Mam tells me the same stories about how hard it was to manage us both! Here in the North East of the UK we call a shopping cart a trolley and we call a stroller a buggy. Thanks for the wonderful content ❤️

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@tammyhoushour8070]

I make peanut brittle and I have forgotten about pralines thank you for sharing this and I'm going to make some this week. 🙌❤

[@maggieg60]

I say buggy. I’m a fan who speaks your language - literally - and I’m in upstate SC. And I adore pralines, so I can’t wait to try your recipe. 😊

[@nickik.9037]

Those look delicious. Pralines are one of my favorite candies. I will try this recipe. Hugs!

[@mjhepburn11]

I've eaten pralines once or twice, and I loved them, but I had no idea the recipe included buttermilk! Your instructions when you show your recipes are so clear that I wouldn't hesitate to try them on my own. Thank you, Tipper! ❤

[@JulieR207]

I make these every year, too. My MIL always called them prawl-eens but I pronounce it like you because my mom always did. Looking forward to making them again this Christmas. 🙂

[@sherrywilliams409]

My recipe has buttermilk and I think you’re right, it is the buttermilk that makes these so good. Thank you for sharing your recipe. God bless

[@sylviathompson5311]

I love that you share the story of how you acquired a recipe or method of cooking. I have an odd way of looking at life as being woven with threads and longer threads make sturdier lives. That's why I think tradition, history, storytelling, etc. is so important. Tipper, you don't just give us a recipe you give us a strong fiber to securely weave into our the fabric of our lives. I'm putting these in my cookbook (alongside Dessie Ogle's pumpkin pie, Irvitta's chocolate cake, Peggy's pickled peppers, etc.) as Tipper's Bi-lo pralines so I will remember the person and the story. Thank you!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love that 😀 I so agree with your thinking 😀

[@sylviathompson5311]

The pralines were a big hit around here for Christmas! Thank you!

[@music7064]

Where do I start. I figured since I watched this video about 10 times I could do it and soon figured out I couldn't when I made the mistake of putting my butter in at the beginning. So 2nd time you and I made it together( a double batch) and they were awsome. My son came in while I was making them and said " really mom you watch her enough already now you have to watch her while you cook" I told him I do when she is teaching me something. After he tried them he said I can watch your videos and cook all I want lol. I hope you have a very merry christmas

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

I’m so glad you liked them 😊 thank you!!

[@scottclay4253]

Your buttermilk pralines look wonderful. I am going to try to get those made for Christmas. Thank you, Tipper!

[@esmereldapinchon1422]

It’s “carriage” in Boston. Or cart. Love real Southern pralines. Discovered them traveling through Atlanta airport. There’s a candy store there specializing in Southern candy. I’m sure your homemade pralines are so much better than store bought!

[@saudadelife6670]

Oh my word, these pralines are so delicious! I made this recipe over the weekend and I have to tell you, that they are already gone. Thank you Tipper, for sharing yet another wonderful recipe. Hearing the stories along with your recipes makes it all the more special. Merry Christmas!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Glad you like them!

[@patrickrwhite8354]

Well they looked delicious and I can only imagine how they taste Tipper. EXCELLENT. Thank you for sharing.

[@Yallquietendown]

I made these yesterday. They turned out so good! I used regular milk. I started dropping them a little too soon so the first half didn’t set up. But I waited until this morning and they have all set up ! So I just needed to be patient

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Wonderful 😀

[@deebee9151]

I say buggy which is the the chair with wheels that you put babies/ toddlers in to push them around. The thing you put your shopping in at the supermarket is a shopping trolley.

[@kimbotombo1]

Thanks for the recipe. Gonna try these, they looks so delicious.

[@bandjbley8278]

Tipper, I love pralines!!! Thanks for your recipe and for showing us how it's done. I'll make some for Christmas.

[@matronamyers]

I will be making these for Thanksgiving this year. The buttermilk addition is really intriguing. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

[@sandip.7968]

Watching your cooking demos always makes me SO HUNGRY! I don't have a candy thermometer, but just might have to put one in my buggy next time I go shopping! Tipper, will you please share your mother's recipe for Pecan Pralines so your subscribers can compare the two ... kinda like a taste contest?

[@pauls5655]

Awesome,... Definitely going to make some with your recipe. Thank you Mrs Pressley. 😊

[@newjawn9004]

When the sugar is dissolved, I was taught not to stir when taking the temp. from 210 to 234 because stirring slows the temp. rise too much and causes the mixture to overcook and become too hard. If the temp is allowed to rise from 210 to 234 while not stirring, then the candy should be creamier. At least that was our way.

[@TheKentuckylady717]

Looks delicious.....never made these, never heard of using buttermilk either....but hope to try these with the buttermilk.....one day.....lol

[@annseabolt6645]

Here in Texas we pronounce the nuts puh cawns and use shopping carts but my late mother in law would call them buggies. If you ever have some pralines that don’t set up add some powdered sugar and they’ll set right up. I discovered this one Christmas when mine stayed soft after I spooned them out. I scraped them back into the pan and heated them up and added some powdered sugar and they got thick and set up fine.

[@5greenfeathers]

I’ve always wanted to make pralines ! Now I can ! Buttermilk is good in ranch dressing too !

[@williambracker7139]

I just made your Buttermilk Pralines and they came out very good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@jbowerdel]

love this! From new orleans where it's "praw-lenes" not "pray-lines" and 'puhcans"-no buttermilk but cream and it's all delicious!! always delicious when its homemade! thanks for such a clear and well done video! love the recipes!

[@teresasleeper2458]

So nice to listen and watch someone that talks like me. 🙂🥰 Our family has passed down cooking the way you do. ❤️ We just have to change to some healthier methods on some things. ☹️🍲🥗🥘😪 But nothing changes for the holidays! Pies, cakes, cookies, divinity, fudge, etc! And now some yummy pralines!!! You explain things so well and never forget the little things. 🙂👍🏻

[@Babs0669]

Made these last weekend, following your recipe and technique to the letter, and they were FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe and the pointers. 🙂 I’ll be making these every Christmas now, along with peanut butter fudge, peanut brittle and Butterscotch Haystacks!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Wonderful!!

[@ShawnPlusOne]

Those pralines look absolutely delicious I’m glad to see how they are made it’s a delicate process and they are eaten quickly because they are so good. 😋

I call it a shopping cart but my mom called it a buggy. I also have a friend from England who calls it a trolley.

I just love your channel! My granny grew up in Barboursville, Kentucky and I remember seeing her house on the mountain and using her outhouse and drinking from the well. I have heard many of her phrases and I love to repeat them. One of her favorites is...."are your roses blooming?" That meant you are on your period. 😊😊 your channel brings me peace and loving memories!!❤💜 Thank you! And I can't wait to try this recipe...she loved buttermilk!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

To answer your question, I have always said "shopping cart". I think that is a wonderful thing to call them! I must admit, when I heard "buggy", I thought maybe that was Appalachian for "perambulator" or "stroller". In my region, lots of parents & caregivers put the groceries around the children in both of these "conveyances".

The nicer grocery store in our area has enormous two- seater shopping carts! They're extra wide and so are the aisles. I'm in Los Angeles county. Would've been so nice for your twins when they were little.

[@tinaapplegate5914]

Tipper ,I have to tell you I just made these and they are amazing I've watched this video a few times to really watch how they look at each stage mostly because I don't have a candy thermometer But I had some buttermilk which I don't usually have so I tried them they are really Good !! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!!

[@shirleydenton4747]

We say cart. Also you call the burner an eye, and many in my world do the same. I have wracked my brain to remember the popular combination store restaurant that used to be located along the well traveled highways in the south. They featured pralines as their main advertisement, and had the best hotdogs ever.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Shirley-I never thought about saying stove eye-thank you for pointing that one out 😀

Lady , I just love you . You cook like all the ladies in my family . We are from indiana but , come the holidays every Hoosier I know goes down home to either Kentucky , Tennessee or West Viginia . Even those of us who no longer have family in Appalachia, we are not far removed. We cook the same , some of us use yellow corn meal , I admit. Those Jiffy cornmeal mixes are the bane of my existence but , I love your cooking

I love these! I don’t know what makes the difference in Southern terminology. In Houston, we went to the Piggly Wiggly and used a shopping cart to put our groceries in. But we also pronounce that nut as a “puh-CAHN” and the candy you made as a “prah-LEEN” At any rate, these look delicious!
