Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100g
- 2 cup pecan halves 240g
- Large pinch of kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- While the butter melts, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. This will be used to cool the pecans. They will stick if you do not line the pan!
- Add the sugar to the skillet. Season with salt and cinnamon. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar begins to melt.
- Add the pecans to the skillet. Move the ingredients around the skillet frequently with a rubber spatula so they don’t burn. (Please keep an eye on them. This is not a task where you should be focusing on anything else, as this can burn very easily, especially toward the end of the process.)
- Continue stirring until the nuts are fully coated, then transfer immediately onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Separate the nuts on the baking sheet with the rubber spatula into a single layer so they don’t stick together. If they cool together, you’ll have a hard time breaking them apart.
- The candied coating will harden in about 5-10 minutes, then you can enjoy these!
