Heritage Recipe

Flapper Pudding

"My grandmother, Edith Blanche Findley, used to make this dessert. She said it got its name because "even a flapper could make this!" Jeanne Vrobel, the host of Frontier's Rest

Ingredients

1 cup fine vanilla wafer crumbs

3/4 cup butter, softened

2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar

2 egg yolks (at room temperature)

2 stiffly beaten egg whites (at room temperature)

One 9-ounce can of crushed pineapple (drained well)

1/2 cup chopped pecans


Spread half of vanilla wafer crumbs on bottom of pan (10 x 6 x 2 inches). Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks. Beat for 1 minute. Fold in egg whites. Beat until smooth -- about 15 seconds. Fold in pineapple and nuts. Top with crumbs. Refrigerate until firm -- at least 5 hours. Cut into 10 squares. Garnish with cherries.
