BUTTERSCOTCH PIE WITH PECAN-SHORTBREAD CRUST
For a crust with the texture of a pecan sandy, nuts are blended into an easy, buttery press-in tart dough. The filling, made with a simple combination of brown sugar, milk, and egg yolks, is a nostalgic nod to butterscotch pudding. Using a rectangular fluted tart pan gives this stunner a more graphic look, and makes it a snap to cut into small servings-so family and friends can feel free to try every option on the dessert table.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 375°F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes, then finely grind in a food processor. Add flour and salt to food processor and pulse just to combine.
- In a bowl, stir together butter and granulated sugar; stir in egg yolk. Add flour-pecan mixture and stir until mixture has the texture of fine crumbs and holds together when pressed between two fingers. Press evenly into bottom and up sides of an 8 1/4-by-11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom.
- Freeze pan 15 minutes, then transfer to oven and bake until set and deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes.
- Filling: Meanwhile, in a saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in egg yolks, then milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in butter. Pour filling into crust and let cool 15 minutes. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of filling and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
- Pecans: Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. In a small bowl, stir together pecans, sugar, salt, and egg white. Spread mixture into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once, until golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes. Separate clumped nuts with a fork; let cool completely. Pecans can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
- To serve pie, remove plastic wrap, then sides of pan; transfer pie to a platter. Decorate with sugared pecans, cut into squares, and serve.
PATRIOTIC FRUIT PIZZA WITH PECAN SHORTBREAD CRUST
Torrey's pecan shortbread crust really sets this apart from your average fruit pizza recipe. The crust is crisp and sweet but isn't overly sweet. Her cream cheese spread is thick and the orange zest is just enough to give the mixture a little citrus flavor. We used strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple as suggested and the...

Steps:
- 1. FOR SPREAD: In mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, whipped topping, sugar and orange zest (optional) until well-blended. Set aside. Keep cool, but not cold (makes it hard to spread).
- 2. FOR CRUST: I used a stand mixer with a paddle attachment as this is a VERY stiff dough and I knew my hand would wear out. Preheat oven to 350 F (~175 C).
- 3. Cream together sugar and butter just until combined.
- 4. Add extracts and stir into butter/sugar mixture.
- 5. In separate bowl, whisk flour and salt together.
- 6. Add flour/salt mix to butter/sugar mix, a little at a time.
- 7. Add chopped pecans to dough (I chop them by hand) and work dough until nuts are evenly incorporated.
- 8. Line bottom of jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- 9. Pat out dough to cover bottom (and slightly up sides) of pan. Dough should be about 1/4-inch thick. NOTE: You will probably have leftover dough. LUCKY YOU! Make shortbread cookies! Roll leftover dough into a log, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill it. Then slice into 1/4-inch wide cookies and bake at 350 F for about 15-20 min until golden brown on edges and done in middle.
- 10. In 350 F oven, bake crust until golden brown around edges and center is cooked but not brown (10-15 min). Let crust cool COMPLETELY before topping it.
- 11. FOR FRUIT TOPPING: Wash and dry desired fresh fruits (or use drained, canned fruit). If berries are small, use whole. If fruit is larger, cut into bite-size pieces or slices. For this pizza, I cut the strawberries in half.
- 12. ASSEMBLY: Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust.
- 13. Arrange fruit in decorative patterns on top of cream cheese.
- 14. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate until serving.

PECAN PIE BARS WITH SHORTBREAD CRUST
One of my favorite bars, this works well also with walnuts! The shortbread crust is light and buttery, make certain to make the crust only on a processor, mixing by hand will produce a harder textured crust, also make certain to pour the topping over the crust when it is hot out of the oven, so prepare the topping while the crust is baking, the filling takes only minutes to make! Yield is only estimated depending on size of bars. Cooking time is for both crust and topping.

PECAN DIAMONDS WITH SHORTBREAD CRUST
I have made this many times to serve on my baking tray for the holidays, and during the year also, they are the treats that always go the quickest! I can tell you, these are sooooo good! They have a delicious chewy topping with a flakey shortbread crust, just make certain to blend the crust ingredients in a processor only to assure a flakey crust. These can be made up to a week in advance, store in an airtight container. You can slice them right out of the pan, just omit using the foil, if you slice them very small, you should get anywhere from between 30-32 diamonds slices. I have even made these using chopped walnuts in place of pecans. Cooking time is for the crust and topping.

- Lightly press the mixture onto the bottom of prepared baking dish that has been lined with a foil overhang.
