It’s often said that when selling your home, you should bake something aromatic and spicy to entrance potential buyers with the homey scent wafting from the kitchen. These pecans are simple enough to make in the mad scramble before opening your house to strangers, and there’s no better way to fill your home with a heady mix of spices. I recommend folding them into Bourbon Ice Cream (see Variation, page 24), which you can happily eat to celebrate the closing of the deal.
Cooks' Note
To measure the egg whites, beat them vigorously with a fork for a few seconds, until they’re loose and slightly foamy. The whites will then be easy to pour and measure.
