Creamy Pralines

One box of light brown sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp butter
2 cups pecan halves

Mix sugar, salt, milk and butter in a two quart sauce pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add pecans and bring up the heat, stirring constantly until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool for exactly five minutes. Stir rapidly until the mixture coats the pecans and thickens. Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper.
