INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a preheated 350 degree oven toast 1/2 cup pecans, about 7 minutes, and
cool. Finely chop toasted pecans and separate egg. In a bowl with a fork
cream butter and Saga until smooth. Add egg yolk, stirring until combined
well. Add flour and chopped pecans and stir until mixture just forms a
dough.
Halve dough and on separate sheets of waxed paper form each half into a 12
by 1 1/4-inch log, using waxed paper as a guide. Freeze logs, wrapped in
waxed paper, just until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets.
Cut logs crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange slices about
1/2-inch apart on baking sheets. Top each cracker with a remaining pecan
half, pressing lightly into dough. Brush tops of crackers, including
pecans, with lightly beaten egg white. Bake crackers in batches, if
necessary, in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets
halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 12 minutes total. With a
spatula transfer crackers to paper towels to blot and transfer to a rack to
cool. Yield: about 90 crackers
