Ingredients
  • 1 cup pastry or all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt, scant measure
  • ¾-1 cup pecans
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Butter a 9“ deep-dish glass pie plate or light colored pan. (deep dish is preferred for this recipe)
  3. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl and stir.
  4. Place the nuts in a food processor or blender and pulse just long enough to chop the nuts finely. Do not make a paste.
  5. Add the nuts into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Add the melted butter and combine well.
  7. Press the mixture evenly into the buttered pie plate.
  8. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until it just starts to brown on the edges.
  9. Do not over bake. Crust will be hard if over cooked and hard to cut.
  10. Note: A light-colored or glass pan will absorb less heat than a dark one and help ensure against over baking.
