3/4 cup sugar
About 1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter or margarine, cut into chunks
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
3/4 cup raspberry jelly or jam
1. In a food processor or bowl, combine flour
and 1/4 cup sugar. Add butter and whirl or rub with your fingers
until fine crumbs form. Add egg; whirl or mix with a fork until
dough holds together. Pat into a smooth ball.
2. Firmly press dough evenly over bottom of a
buttered 9-inch square pan.
3. Bake in a 350 degree oven until crust is pale
gold, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a deep bowl with a mixer on high
speed, whip egg whites to a thick foam. Fold in remaining 1/2
cup sugar and the pecans.
5. Spread jelly evenly over warm crust. Spoon
egg white mixture onto jelly; spread level with a spatula.
6. Return pan to oven and bake until top is brown,
about 25 minutes longer. Let cool at least 1 hour, then cut into
squares.
