With a rich, butter crust and chewy nut filling, these bars are just as good as real pecan pie! Cut them in pretty triangle or diamond shapes.Judie Heiderscheit, Holy Cross, Iowa Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1 cup cold butter |

1 cup butter, cubed |
3/4 cup honey |
1/2 cup sugar |
4 cups chopped pecans |
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream |

Directions:
