Angel Pecan Pie

Okay, I know I've done lots of pie posts, but really, I just want you to be ready for Thanksgiving! ;) This recipe is an old family favorite. It's different than most pecan pies though; this one is very light--hence the "angel" in the title.What you need:

3 egg whites, beaten stiff
1 c. sugar
1/4 t. baking powder
1 t. vanilla
6 graham crackers, crushed into crumbs
1 c. chopped pecans

Preheat your oven to 350*, separate egg yolks from whites, and begin beating them!
***If you're making pies for Thanksgiving, SAVE THOSE YOLKS FOR NEXT WEEK'S RECIPE!***
When your egg whites look like the picture above (^), go ahead and fold in the rest of the ingredients with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Incidentally, if you have kiddos who love to help cook, let them smash the graham crackers in a Zip-lock bag while the egg whites stiffen. They can use their fingers or even roll a rolling pin/soup can over the bag a few times. When adding in the ingredients, the fluffy egg whites will "fall," but don't worry! They're supposed to.
Pour contents into a pie tin (an 8-9 inch works best) and bake for 25 minutes.
Allow pie to cool completely (I usually make this pie the night before I need it just because I can!). Just before serving, top with whipping cream (the real stuff works best).

  2. If you want to see your fish live happily in the aquarium then first make their home perfect. Because any small bacteria can harm fish's health.
