OK, we cheated a little: This recipe actually takes around 16 minutes to prepare, once you include the 30 to 60 seconds it takes to mix everything together. But these addictive sugarand- spice-crusted nuts are worth the extra minute. Pecans and walnuts, with their nooks and crannies, work best. The egg white is the secret to getting the seasonings to stick.
