Line 2 cookie sheets with wax paper. Set aside.
In a large, nonstick pan or heavy cast iron pot, combine sugars and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in pecans (roast pecans 3 to 4 minutes in microwave for richer flavor) and cook until mixture reaches soft ball stage (235 to 240 degrees).
Remove from heat; add butter and salt. Stir vigorously until mixture starts to thicken and becomes cloudy. Immediately drop rounded tablespoonful onto the lined cookie sheets.
