Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; add vanilla and gradually add sugar. Toss in the pecans and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until they they are coated thoroughly. Melt butter and pour on a baking sheet. Spread the pecans out evenly over the baking sheet and cook for 40 minutes, turning them every two minutes with a spatula -- don't skip this step. (They will look like a goopy mess at first, but don't worry! Keep turning as instructed and all will be well). Remove from the oven and cool for about 2 minutes. Place powdered sugar in a large reseable plastic bag; add in the pecans, seal and shake until coated. Best served warm, but absolutely delicious even after a few weeks! Serves 7 cups.
