Mexican Pecan Pie

  1. Mexican Pecan Pie

    7 tablespoons butter, divided
    5 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 eggs, separated
    5 tablespoons granulated sugar
    2/3 cup finely ground pecans
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup honey
    Whipped cream
    Cinnamon

    Cream 6 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and beat in egg yolks until creamy.

    In a separate bowl, with very clean beaters, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Add this to the remaining whites and fold in. Mix nuts with flour and fold into egg mixture. Pour evenly into a buttered 8 inch pie plate. Smooth the top. Bake at 350 degrees F until it tests done with a knife inserted near the middle, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Turn out of pan onto rack.

    Combine remaining 1 tablespoon butter and honey. Bring to a bubbling boil. Cool slightly and pour over pie while it is still warm.

    To serve, cut into wedges and top with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon.
