PECANS GALORE
Kitchener Ecclesia, Ontario, Canada
This is very sweet and very fattening! A small piece goes a long
way.
CRUST:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
Mix until light and fluffy.
At low speed, add 2 large eggs, then 2 1/2 cups flour until smooth. Pat into bottom and sides of a 15 1/2" x 10" x 1" jelly-roll pan. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line pastry with foil and fill with dried beans. Bake 30 min. until lightly browned. Remove foil and beans. Cool.
FILLING:
Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Combine 2
cups unsalted butter (cut up), 16 oz. brown sugar, 2/3 cup honey, 1/2
cup sugar and 1/4 tsp. salt. Bring to boil and boil 5 min., stirring.
Stir in 2 lbs. chopped pecans and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Pour filling
over crust. Bake 25 min. until filling is bubbly.
