Pecan Five O'Clock Teas

Beat the white of one egg stiff. To this add one cup of brown sugar (be sure that there are no lumps) and one cup salted pecans. Drop portions about the size of a large walnut into a well buttered pan and cook in a moderate oven about twenty or thirty minutes. You may use the unsalted pecans, in which event add a little salt to the ingredients. Walnuts may be substituted for pecans.
