Just wanted to add that a comment at a recipe site mentioned adding a bit of molasses, so since I had some for the pecan pie, I added a tablespoon to the mixture to make these two.

Oh, there may be, or I can just make more. This image was sent from Flickr as a blog entry, email or cameraphone image. Via:…

Okay, my pecan pie is out of the oven and looks pretty good. I got the recipe from Elise’s Simply Recipes site, which I read regularly via Bloglines. Her recipese always look so good and they’re very easy to follow. I’m a nervous cook and always take forever fussing around getting ingredients set up in advance, then repeatedly check and re-check before I finally start combining. I will say that her recipe is a snap to put together, much easier than one I saw that involved cooking the sugars on the stove first until they got to the “crackle” stage…
