PECAN PASTRIES 
1/2 c. sweet butter
5 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 c. shortening
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
Dash of salt

FILLING:

1/2 c. sweet butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/3 c. honey
1/2 lb. pecans, chopped
3 tbsp. whipping cream

Cream butter, sugar and shortening until smooth and well combined. Add egg. Stir to blend. Add remaining ingredients and mix until just blended. Do not overmix.

Pat dough into a 13x9 inch jelly roll pan. Prick with fork. Bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and honey. Bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes without stirring. Remove from heat. Stir in pecans and whipping cream. Spread filling over prebaked pastry. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until dough is done and filling is lightly brown on top.
