[Guest guest]

2/3 C pine nuts

2 eggs

2 T lemon juice

2 T lemon zest (I had to leave this out)

2 C + 2 T flour

1 1/2 t baking powder

1/4 t salt

 

Place nuts in shallow pan and bake at 350º for 6-8 minutes, until golden

brown. Let cool. In mixing bowl cream butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat

in eggs, lemon juice & zesst. In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder and

nuts. Divide dough in half.On a gerased and floured baking sheet pat out into

2 logs about 1/2 " high, 1 1/2 " wide and 14 " long, spacing them at least 2 "

apart. Bake in middle of preheated 325º degree oven for 25 minutes or until

lightly browned. Transfer from baking sheet to rack. et cool 5 minutes. Place

on cutting board and use serrated knife to slice diagonally at 45º angle about

1/2 " thick. Lay the slices flat on baking sheet, return to oven for 10

minutes longer, turning once. Let cool and store in tightly covered container.

Makes 3 1/2 to 4 dozen (chef's note: HAH made about 1 1/2 dozen but my

measurements weren't measured when I patted it out)
