- SIFT the flour, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and salt into a bowl. Cut into
- the butter with a pastry blender (or with a whirl or two in a food processor)
- until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the pecans (they do not have to
- be ground, but a food processor is excellent for chopping them very fine.)
- PRESS the mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie plate and bake for 25
- minutes or until the crust is pale gold. Remove from the ove(keep it at 350
- degrees) and let cool while you prepare the filling.
- TO DO THIS, beat the granulated sugar, eggs, lime juice and peel, baking
- powder and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell
- and bake another 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool,
- sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar put through a flour sifter, and
- serve with dollops of rum-flavored whipped cream. Makes 8 servings.
