What are Nougats? From answers.com it is a noun and is defined as a confection made from a sugar or honey paste into which nuts are mixed. This recipe fits the description well. [French, from Provençal, from nougo, nut, from Old Provençal noga, from Vulgar Latin *nuca, from Latin nux, nuc-, nut.] Pecans in short, the word "paccane" was a word of the Northern French, adopted as " pecan" in 1765-1775 by the American colonists-to-be.
 
Ingredients
4 cups ground pecans 1 block butter (8 tbsp)
1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar
3 egg whites  
 
Directions
Mix all ingredients well and shape into medium size balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and press down on ball with fork or spoon to flatten. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cookies will appear to not be cooked but they MUST cool completely before you attempt to remove the pan. GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
