1 c. buttermilk
2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
Butter the size of a walnut
1/2 c. pecans

Dissolve soda in buttermilk. Add sugar and butter. Cook, stirring constantly. (Scorches easily - use heavy pan and wooden spoon.) When soft ball forms in cool water, remove from heat. Cool and beat until fudgy. Add nut meats and pour into glass pie plate. Makes about 30 pieces. Old and creamy recipe from Missouri.
