Candied pecans

A sweet little treat! It’s a great snack to put out for a get-together or before dinner.

  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tsp cold water

Heat the oven to 110°C (225°F).

Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and salt together well.

In a large bowl, whip the egg white with the cold water until frothy. Add the pecans and toss to coat. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the pecans and toss again.
