Whether you pronounce it “pee-can” or “puh-con” these are delicious!
1 egg white
1 tablespoon of water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound pecan halves
3/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of salt
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees (F).
Beat the water, vanilla and egg white in a large bowl until foamy. Stir in the pecans.
In a separate bowl combine the sugar, ground cinnamon and salt. Gradually add the sugar mixture to the pecans making sure every nut is coated.
Pour the pecans into a 9″ x 13″ pan and roast for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let the pecans cool and store them in an airtight container. (Not that you will be storing them very long because they’re addicting!)

I am “nuts” about your blog. Very interesting.
Delicious and addicting!!! I make a version of these for Christmas, however I only use heavy cream and brown sugar. Super yummy!

Aunt Kim would like some for Christmas, or any other time of year.
Obviously “puh-con” is the proper way to pronounce it, though I can’t get my Southern husband to change his ways. I’m saving this recipe to make some of my own!
I say “puh-con” too, in spite of growing up in North Carolina!
I love this recipe! I brought them to my boyfriend’s house and he wouldn’t let me eat them. P.S. I pronounce it “puh-con” and I was born and raised in Tennessee.
Puh-con for sure here in Missouri. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Can’t wait to try these! My kids (grown) will be so impressed! Thanks for sharing!
Your recipe looks delicious. I was wondering what your recommendation for replacing egg white for someone who is allergic to them?
Mayo. 1 tablespoon. But it won’t foam.
YUM! I say “puh-con” too even though I was born and raised in Georgia.
These are so addictive and this South Texan says “puh-con” too! :)
Made these tonight and my husband and I love them! Thanks
no! It’s “pee=con” … lol .. but these treats are delicious!! Will be making again tomorrow!
Can you substitute Jack Daniel for the water?
In the oven now …. & I call em “pee-cans” born en raised in rhode island
They’re in the oven! I say “pee-can” :) It’s the South Carolina in me
Can I just use the whole egg??
I don’t know, I’ve never tried it that way. :)
South MS and we say “puh-con”! Have lots of pecans in the freezer so I will definitely be making some of these!
So are these like to nuts you get at the Fairs or amusement Parks?
Just made these and they turned out sooo well! Nice and sweet and spicy from the cinnamon! definitely something I’d make again!
Made them last night – but I think I should have beaten the egg whites until stiff – instead of frothy. The pecans taste great, but are a tad on the chewy side (which I like, but my husband likes crunchy). And they stuck really bad to my pan, so next time I’ll spray with PAM or something – or did I do something wrong?
Soooo good but just use the egg white.
If they are chewy you didn’t cook them long enough, I don’t whip my eggs a lot I just mix the nuts with the egg to coat and then stir in the sugar cinnamon and salt it breaks up the egg when you mix the sugar
These are fabulous!!! A BIG HIT!!! I am originally from Oregon, living in Washington State. And we pronounce Pecan.. Pee=Con! Go figure!
love these, thanks for sharing, i made some as Christmas presents – pics here http://abimakes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/candied-and-spiced-nuts.html
