Old-Fashioned Roasted Pecans image

My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 14h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 pinch kosher salt
1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons ice water
2 cups pecan, halves, divided
¾ cup light corn syrup
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
½ teaspoon kosher salt
8 cups vegetable oil
4 cups prepared pancake batter
¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
dried bean
8 popsicle sticks

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
  • Using only your fingertips, pinch the cubes of butter into the flour, breaking up the butter as you go, until no large lumps remain.
  • Mix the egg yolks and ice water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined.
  • Add the liquid to the flour mixture, reserving a quarter or so in case you don't need all of it--you don't want the pastry to be too wet. Quickly mix everything together with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more liquid to the driest parts of the dough if needed. The dough is ready when it holds together in a ball when squeezed in your palm.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface and bring together in a disc. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and unwrap the disc of chilled dough. Flour the top of the dough. Using a rolling pin, push down on the dough, giving it a quarter turn every few smushes, to spread the dough evenly and ensure it doesn't stick to the surface.
  • Start to roll out the dough, continuing to turn. If any cracks form, smush them back together. Roll out the dough to a circle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick and place into a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges. Crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
  • Place a piece of parchment in the center of the pie crust and add the pie weights or dried beans. 10. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups pecans, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and salt.
  • Carefully lift the parchment with the pie weights from the par-baked pie crust, then pour in the filling. Top with the remaining ½ cup (60 G) of pecans in concentric circles.
  • Return the pie to the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and continue baking for 40 minutes, until the filling is completely set. Let the pie cool completely.
  • Cut the pie into 8 equal slices and carefully insert a popsicle stick into the crust side of each slice, using a small paring knife to make an incision if needed. Place the pie slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight, or until solid.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Working in batches, dip the slices of pie into the prepared pancake batter, then carefully transfer to the hot oil and fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

BUTTERY SWEET TOASTED PECANS



Buttery Sweet Toasted Pecans image

I am always looking for new party nibbles recipes. So, I grabbed this one when I saw it in the 'Fast & Fabulous Party Foods and Appetizers' cookbook.

Provided by Sarah_Jayne

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons butter
3 cups pecan halves
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
3 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat.
  • Stir pecans in butter for 1 minute.
  • Sprinkle Cajun seasoning and sugar over nuts and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has melted and nuts are glazed, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour pecans onto a plate and cool slightly.
  • Taste and season with salt, if needed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pecans. Look for fresh, plump pecans that are free of blemishes. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
  • Toast the pecans before frying. Toasting the pecans will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a neutral-flavored oil for frying. Olive oil or vegetable oil are both good choices.
  • Heat the oil to the right temperature before adding the pecans. The oil should be shimmering but not smoking.
  • Fry the pecans in small batches. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many pecans to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly.
  • Fry the pecans until they are golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Drain the pecans on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Season the pecans with your favorite spices. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Fried pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to a variety of dishes. They are a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Follow these tips to make the perfect fried pecans every time. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a delicious addition to your next meal, fried pecans are a great choice.
