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!
