Ingredients

1 egg white

1 cup light brown sugar

Dash of salt

1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Preparation

Beat egg white with salt until soft peaks form. Add brown sugar in two additions, beating lightly after each. (Mixture will be much thinner than for meringue.) Stir in nuts and drop 2 inches apart from a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake in a very slow oven (250) about 30 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet immediately. Makes 3 1/2 dozen.
