- 4. Dip your pecan halves into the mix and put on your cookie sheet leave enough room for the puffs to spread (about half dollar size). Repeat till your cookie sheet is full.
- 5. Bake at 250 for about 20 minutes or till golden brown.

Steps:
- 1. Beat 1 cup butter until soft, add and blend until creamy 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Sift flour before measuring and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir ground pecans and flour into butter mixture. Mix well. Roll into small balls and place on a ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10-15 minutes. Roll the puffs while HOT in confectioners' sugar and again when COLD. Makes about 36 pecan puffs.
Tips:
- Use high-quality pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweet and nutty flavor, while older pecans may be more bitter.
- Toast the pecans before using them. Toasting the pecans will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Use a food processor fitted with a metal blade to chop the pecans. This will ensure that the pecans are finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the puffs tough.
- Bake the puffs at a high temperature. This will help them to rise quickly and develop a crispy exterior.
- Let the puffs cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from making the puffs soggy.
