Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups butter, softened
  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup cream

Directions:

  1. Grease and flour the bottoms of three 9 inch layer pans. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add pecans, and brown for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
