How to Make Pecan Dainties
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, gently combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup pecan halves.
- Gradually add the sugar and pecan mixture to the beaten egg whites, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each mound.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the pecan dainties in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an additional 30 minutes. This allows them to dry out and become delightfully crisp.
- Carefully remove the dainties from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
