Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the flour with almond flour. If you want a bit of sweetness, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Ensure the margarine is softened to room temperature for easier blending. You can also experiment with different nuts instead of pecans, such as walnuts or almonds, based on your preference.
Serving Suggestions

It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream. This dish can also be enjoyed as part of a brunch spread alongside Green (English) Pea Salad for a refreshing contrast.
