Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pecan halves
  • 1 egg white
  • 15 mL (1 Tbsp) bourbon, water (or any liquid)
  • 150 grams (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch fine sea salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 F (121 C) I use convection because my oven is too hot on the bottom.
  2. Beat the egg white with the liquid in a medium/large bowl until the egg white is loose and runny.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
    150 grams (3/4 cup) granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, pinch fine sea salt
  4. Place the pecans in the bowl with the egg white and mix it well until all the pecans are nice and wet.

  5. Add the cinnamon sugar mixture to the pecans and mix until all the pecans are well coated.
  6. Spread on a large baking sheet (try to get them in an even layer, not as squished as mine) and bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping the pecans with a spatula every 15 minutes, until the pecans are browned and there are no more wet spots.
