My wife loves pecans. Lucky for me, we have a pecan tree in the front yard that produces ALOT of pecans. I was sitting around watching Pitch Black one Saturday, while my wife was hard at work at the Hobby Lobby. I started thinking about things I could do that she would make me productive in a way that she would appreciate. So, without really knowing what I was going to do with them, I started shelling pecans. I shelled enough to fill up about half a football and decided it was time to make something with them. I looked a a few recipes, and being a man....decided I would make one up myself. So here's how you make something that's sorta, kinda like a brown sugar meringue on pecans. In other words... the crunchiness of pork skins, with the sweetness of a pecan turtle. The end result is that the pecans are coated with brown sugar and egg white batter, then baked.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 egg white
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups pecan halves
Preparation:- Beat egg white until foamy;
- Slowly beat in the brown sugar mixed with flour.
- Add salt and vanilla flavoring,
- Put in pecans.
- Transfer pecans to a greased baking pan and bake at 250° for about 45 minutes
Get ready for some big thank you's from your wife!
