When I am cooking for a potluck, I have two main criteria:
- it’s fast (and/or easy)
- I have all the ingredients on hand.
Friday I gave you the recipe for Hot Artichoke Spinach Dip. Every Monday for the rest of this year, I am going to be featuring some of my favorite party recipes. Today’s recipe is Cinnamon Sugar coated pecans.
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 pound pecan halves
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 250° F.
In a small bowl, whip together egg white and water until frothy. stir in pecans until coated with egg white mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
Remove nuts from egg white mixture and toss in cinnamon sugar mixture until thoroughly coated.
Spread nuts on a greased cookie sheet, bake at 250° F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Advice and tips:
- Try using ziplock bags for the egg white mixture and the cinnamon sugar mixture. It makes the coating process much easier.
- try substituting vanilla for the water
- make a double batch, these will go QUICK!!!
