Cajun Pecans

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pecan halves
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • Dash of salt

Directions

Step 1

Toast pecans by spreading in one layer on a cookie sheet and baking at 325 degrees until light brown (about ten minutes).

Step 2

Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar and beat until stiff. Fold in nuts.

Step 3

Melt butter in 10x15 inch jelly roll pan/cookie sheet. Spread nut mixture over butter and bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Watch them carefully as they're easy to burn.

Step 4

Stir carefully every 10 minutes until light brown (most of the pecans will really have a slightly grayish color).

Keep in a closed container or tin.
