Description:

There are 3 helpful hints that I would like to include in this recipe. One is...for the nuts, I like Pecans. They need to finely ground, but after about 10 years of making this I have found Pecan Meal. They sell it at GFS, they are in Illinois, but it saves you time on grinding pecans yourself or spending a ton on ground pecans. And two is...strawberry jam works the best I think, it is a great taste with the flavor of the pecans. I also use SEEDLESS raspberry jam, that is nice too. For the separated eggs you might need more egg white than 2 eggs worth. The dough is dipped in the whites prior to dipping them in the pecan meal. Happy Eating!!!
