  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to thickness of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Very lightly flour the top of the dough and fold into quarters. Carefully place dough in a greased and floured 8" round CAKE pan. Unfold the dough and arrange to fit the sides and bottom of the pan; press firmly into place. Trim edges and refrigerate 15 minutes.

Instructions-To Assemble

  • Spoon Filling evenly into the dough-lined cake pan. Pour the Pecan Syrup on top. Bake in a 325 degree oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 3/4 hours. (NOTE: The Pecans will rise to the top during baking)
  • Let cool and serve with Whipped Cream.
