List of Ingredients




LEMON PECAN PASTRY SLICES

Preparation 40 min.
Baking 50 min.
Cooling 20 min.

Pastry Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, slightly softened
2 tablespoons water

Topping Ingredients:
1 cup water
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon peel
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs

Glaze Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped pecans



Recipe



Heat oven to 350oF. Place 1 cup flour in large bowl; cut in 1/2 cup
butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2 tablespoons
water. Press mixture into ball by hand. Divide in half.

Pat each half into 12x3-inch rectangle about 3 inches apart onto
ungreased baking sheet. Set aside.

Combine 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter in 2-quart saucepan. Cook
over medium heat until mixture comes to a full boil and butter is
melted (6 to 8 minutes). Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and lemon
peel. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup flour. Reduce heat to low.
Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture forms a ball (about 1
minute). Remove from heat.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating with wire whisk or wooden spoon
until smooth and glossy.

Spread half of egg mixture over each pastry rectangle. Bake for 50
to 55 minutes or until surface is crisp and golden. Cool at least 20
minutes. (Topping rises during baking and shrinks during cooling,
forming custard-like layer.)

Combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons lemon
juice in small mixer bowl. Beat at low speed 1 minute. Increase
speed to high. Beat until desired glazing consistency.

Spread glaze over pastry; sprinkle with pecans. Cut into slices.

Storage Directions: Wrap in plastic food wrap or aluminum foil;
refrigerate up to 2 days.

and 2 to 3 tablespoons milk. Omit pecans. Substitute 1/4 cup sliced
almonds.
