Ingredients:
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious Mystery Pie:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Egg whites |
| 1 | cup sugar |
| 3/4 | cup graham cracker crumbs |
| 1 | cup chopped pecans |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1 | teaspoon baking powder |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan lightly. -
Beat Egg Whites:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will take a few minutes of vigorous beating with an electric mixer or stand mixer. -
Combine Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, graham cracker crumbs, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, and baking powder. -
Fold into Egg Whites:
Gently fold the sugar mixture into the beaten egg whites. Use a spatula to combine everything thoroughly but gently, ensuring you maintain the fluffiness of the egg whites. -
Bake:
Pour the mixture into the greased pie pan. Smooth the top with the spatula. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve:
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, you can optionally top each slice with whipped cream before serving.
