    yay – will make this tonight for new year’s eve dinner. thank you for posting. Need to use up some pecans but wanted something lighter than traditional pecan pie as we have 3 courses beforehand. The only thing that I wonder about in this recipe is why not beat the eggs and butter first, then add eggs, then juice and zest, and then fold in dry ingredients rather than melt the latter and do it all in one – i think it will give a lighter batter. Alright, that’s it – rock on and happy new year.
