Praline nut (5)

I believe the answer is:

pecan

'praline nut' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pecan that I've seen before include "Species of hickory - edible nut" , "of nuts" , "Nut of American hickory tree" , "Type of nut" , "US nut tree" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
