1 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg white

Mix ingredients. Add just enough unbeaten egg white to hold mixture together when pressed lightly with hand. A teaspoon of mixture will make a nice-sized nougat. The trick lies in the proper handling of the material. Lightly mold into a roundish pat and bake until golden brown in a very slow oven. Allow nougats to get cold before removing from baking sheets. Delicious!
