How I make it

  1. Pulse the flour, salt, powdered sugar, pecans and butter in a food processor into crumbs.

  2. Whisk the yolk with the water and vanilla, add to the crumbs and process until a dough forms.

  3. Divide the dough into 3 parts.

  4. Roll each part into a log 12-14 inches (30-35 cm) long and 1¼ inches (3 cm) thick, and chill for 2 hours.

  5. Slice ⅜ inch (1 cm) thick and arrange spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
