Brunch is Better
We've been in Pineville for two months, and we know four people. That's actually not too bad, considering we've been in a different church every weekend, and we only have one car. This whole friendmaking process is just a longgggg one.
-sigh-
Anyway, one of these friends I sort of borrowed from another friend. She's Emily's mother-in-law, (stay with me - it doesn't get any more complicated than that) and she's a dear. She's made us very welcome here. This woman saved my life by loaning me a coffeemaker when mine was lost in boxes. She's good people. Tomorrow, she's coming over for an old fashioned Southern brunch. We'll have coffee (huzzah!), fruit, mini-ham puffs, and mini pecan pies. I don't know why all the mini. It just seems right for a brunch, doesn't it? Anyway, the pecan pies are scrumptious! And you need this recipe. So get a pen, or hit "print", and prepare to host a brunch just to serve them.
You will love me forever for this one.
Mini Pecan Pies:
1 stick of butter, softened
3 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
pecans, halved or chopped
Mix butter, cream cheese, and flour in a bowl until well blended. Divide into 24 small balls. Press into ungreased mini-muffin pan.
Beat egg, add sugar and vanilla. Beat well. Put 1 tsp into crusts, and top with pecans. Cook @ 300 degrees for 30 min.
Now, just try not to eat them all before company gets there. That's the hardest part of the whole thing!

I'm not sure why, but the word "ham-puff" makes me shudder.

It's cheese and ham wrapped into a crescent roll, and cooked in a mini muffin pan. The dough sort of "puffs" up. It is not, as it sounds, puffy ham. I can understand why that would make you shudder.
Maybe i should rename them. Deliciously Wonderful Slap-your-mama Ham rolls.
Better?
