Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup pecan meal OR 3/4 cup ground toasted

pecans*

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

OR Mellow Pastry Blend

1/2 cup cold butter -- (1 stick)

1 egg yolk (save the white for the filling)

 

Crust: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pecan meal, sugar, salt and

flour. Using a pastry blender or fork, your fingers, or a mixer, cut in the

butter. Add the egg yolk, tossing and stirring to make a crumbly dough.

 

Sprinkle the dough into the pie pan, and press it over the bottom, up the sides,

and over the rim of the pan. Cover the crust with a pie crust shield or aluminum

foil to protect it from over-browning, and bake it in a preheated 425°F oven for

15 minutes. Prepare the filling while the crust is baking.

NOTES : *If you want to grind toasted pecans, rather than use pecan meal, an

easy and quick way to do it, without turning the nuts into paste, is to place

the nuts, sugar, salt, and flour into a food processor, pulsing until the nuts

are ground.
