  1. These are melt in your mouth wonderful! And so very easy to make. These remind me of the Almond Crescents my mom used to make a few years back. And it makes exactly 3 dozen. I am adding these to my "yearly holiday baking" collection and maybe some more in between:) Thanks Inez!
     
  2. Inez, these were really good! I have made these before but had lost the recipe. My grandaughter came over and ate almost all of them in one sitting! Thanks!
     
  3. These are delicious. I used cake flour to make them lighter. I also cooled the dough in the fridge before rolling them. Also let them cool before touching them when they come out of the oven or they’ll fall apart.

  4. Very good! Similar taste/consistency as a Russian Tea Cake. Thank you for the nice recipe!
     
  5. Easy Peasy! They'll be on my trays for future Christmas baking. I made 2 batches - one as posted, the other batch I made with a tsp of maple flavoring. I would probably increase the maple flavoring to 2 tsp if I used it in a future batch.

  1. Pecan Puffs were published in the Joy of Cooking going way back in 1931. Some more recent editions don't have the recipe. In this recipe, it is not 1 cup of butter, but 1 stick of butter which is 1/2 cup. Also, sifting the flour is really helpful. Here is the original recipe:

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!! I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch. We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
