Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

I saw these little beauties in passing on foodgawker.

I knew I would be making cookie packages to mail to my friends.

I decided that this would also be the perfect thing to toss into the mix, too!

This recipe is very easy, with hardly any energy expended, but so much to gain! These are great to put out for appetizers or to accompany dessert with friends.

CINNAMON and SUGAR PECANS

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg white
• 3 cups pecan halves
• 1/3 cup cinnamon & sugar
• 2 teaspoons good vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

*For a cinnamon sugar mixture: use one tablespoon cinnamon to 1/3 cup sugar. Be sure to use good quality cinnamon.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

1. Whisk the egg white in a cup. Pour the egg whites over the nuts, stirring until the nuts are coated with egg white.

2. In a small bowl, stir the cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and salt together. Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to the nuts, a little a time, while stirring.

3. Spread the coated nuts on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes without stirring. Use a spatula to remove the nuts from the hot baking sheet immediately. Allow to cool thoroughly before storing in tightly closed container. It took a while for mine to dry – so be prepared to lay them out for a few hours. Store in a cool place.
