Notes
- 2015 Givens Lane: two recipes. Creamed together butter, sugar, flour. Greased and floured the pans (to help minimize sticking when sugar bleeds). Cooked 48 minutes, turned oven off, cracked door for 5 minutes, left to cool in open oven for 15 minutes.
- 2016 Givens Lane: two recipes. Used 3 cups pecans total, could've easily used four. Mixed together sugar, flour, then all liquids, ending with fully melted butter. Accidentally partially broiled the top for the first 9 minutes of cooking. Cooked 48 minutes total, turned oven off and left to cool inside for 30 minutes.
