Adapted from Gourmet, from the recipes submitted by readers. This is very unusual - there is no corn syrup, and only egg whites are used, and there is no pie pastry. This is not like any other pecan pie I have ever seen before. I haven't tried this one yet, but have it planned for next holiday season. Ingredients:
4 large egg whites |
1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 1/3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/3 teaspoons vanilla |
1 cup pecans, coarsley chopped |
whipped cream, as garnish,optional |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and butter a 9 pie plate.
2. Beat egg whites using an electric mixer until they hold stiff peaks.
3. Fold in the graham cracker crumbs, the sugar, baking powder, vanilla, and nuts using a rubber spatula.
4. Pour into a buttered pie plate and bake for 25-30 minutes or until pie is puffy and golden.
5. Let cool before serving.
6. If desired, garnish with whipped cream.
