Ingredients

• 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 egg white
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ pounds pecan halves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.

Step 3

Mix the pecan halves into the egg white.

Step 4

Stir the white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl; add to the pecan and egg white mixture and stir.

Step 5

Coat the bottom of a jelly roll pan with the softened butter.

Step 6

Spread the pecan mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, turning occasionally, 45 to 60 minutes.
