- all-purpose flour, for preparation (spooned and leveled)
- 3⁄4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1⁄2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 350F Line an 8-in square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides.
- In a food processor, pulse pecans until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. In processor blend four, sugar, butter and salt until moist clumps form. Add reserved pecans; pulse 2 or 3 times, just to blend.
