Requested From: "Guy Hobson"
I am looking for the recipe for Mud Hens. These are cookie bars which have
a shortcake base and a pecan topping. They taste something like pecan pie
and are absolutely delicious.


Mud Hens

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, 2 of them separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar

Cream butter and sugar, add three egg yolks and one white and beat until
smooth. Add vanilla. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and beat
in butter mixture until blended. Pour into 9- by 14-inch pan and sprinkle
with chopped pecans. Beat last two egg whites and gradually add brown
sugar. When stiff, spread over batter. Bake at 325A F for 30 to 35
minutes. Cut into squares while hot.
