Pecan Nut Pastries
Description
Of course, you can substitute pecans in the recipe with walnuts or any other nuts. But if you've ever tried pecans, you must have fallen in love with them completely and irrevocably! An incredibly delicious nut! I strongly recommend making these pastries with pecans. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.

Beat the butter with sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. You should end up with a light, airy mixture.

Step 3
Set aside some of the nuts for decorating the pastry. Blend the remaining nuts in a blender, but not into powder—keep them in small pieces. Grate the zest from the lemon. Add the chopped nuts, lemon zest, and juice of one lemon to the butter mixture. Mix well.

Sift the flour with the baking powder and incorporate it into the dough using a mixer. The dough should become creamy in consistency.

Step 5
Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The dough should be 1–1.5 cm thick. Since the dough will spread slightly during baking, leave some space around the edges. Bake for 20–25 minutes at 180 degrees.
