Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, turning occasionally, 45 to 60 minutes.
Step 3
Beat egg white in a large glass or metal bowl until foamy and soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg white will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
Step 4
Stir pecan halves into whipped egg white.
Step 5
Combine white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl; stir into pecan mixture.
Step 6
Coat bottom of a jelly roll pan with softened butter. Spread pecan mixture in an even single layer in the prepared pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 1.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar
  • 1.5 pounds pecan halves
