49Er'S
Sweet pecan squares with a tender biscuit base, rich brown sugar flavor, and a dusting of powdered sugar, perfect for satisfying dessert cravings and sharing at gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend biscuit mix, sugar, eggs, and chopped pecans in a bowl; mix well.
- Pour mixture into a buttered 13 x 9-inch Pyrex dish.
- Bake at 325°F for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar and let cool.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. You can also substitute walnuts for pecans if desired. Ensure that the mixture is well-blended to achieve the best texture. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary; a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean when done.
Serving Suggestions
These squares are delightful on their own but can also be served with a scoop of Ezra'S Homemade Ice Cream for a decadent dessert. Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for an afternoon treat. You might also enjoy serving them alongside fresh fruit or a light salad to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place squares in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until warmed through, or enjoy them cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut in this recipe?
Yes, you can easily substitute chopped walnuts or even almonds if you prefer. Just make sure to use the same amount as the pecans for a similar texture and flavor.
What can I do if I don't have biscuit mix?
If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will work well as a substitute in this recipe.
How do I know when the squares are done baking?
The squares are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. They should be slightly golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
