Candy’s Pecan Delight
While pecans are not recognized as a northern product, we
just couldn’t resist sharing Candy’s recipe, as it is one of her
most popular desserts.
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
13/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup crushed soda crackers
1 cup chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
31/2 cups frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed
Preheat oven to 325°F. In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg
whites until stiff. Gradually add sugar and baking powder,
beating well to incorporate evenly. Fold in crushed crackers,
3/4 cup pecans and vanilla extract. Spread batter in a 9-inch
square baking pan and bake 30 minutes. Cracks in the top of
this after baking are to be expected. Cool in refrigerator,
uncovered. Spread with whipped topping. Sprinkle with
remaining pecans. Cut into small squares, as this is rather
sweet. Best served cold or at least cool: set the pan on the
table over a slightly larger pan filled with cracked ice (nestle
the dessert pan in the ice pan so it doesn’t slip around).
Makes 16 servings.
