Though not nearly as beautiful as yours (I didn't fold the batter long enough), they were still DIVINE! I stumbled upon your recipe because I was all set to make some last night, only to find out I didn't have enough almonds on hand! And I processed my pecans in a coffee grinder carefully, adding powdered sugar IN the grinder with it to soak up some of the oils. Will be making these again and hoping to come out with gorgeous ones like yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188033373009137160.post-14980518059459047192013-01-17T13:58:18.687-08:002013-01-17T13:58:18.687-08:00I ground the pecan flour myself.

Be careful though - if you pummel your pecans too much, you'll get pecan butter!<br /><br />I think the best way to grind the flour is with a coffee grinder. Unfortunately, mine was all full of coffee beans and I was too lazy to clean them out.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206347216047583729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188033373009137160.post-66374017075292812312013-01-16T13:20:31.192-08:002013-01-16T13:20:31.192-08:00Very nice alternative to almond macs, but where di...Very nice alternative to almond macs, but where did you find pecan flour?
