Mexican mini pecan pies, recipes below
In 1992 I went to Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico (in central Mexico) for a three month Spanish language immersion program (course work plus live with a family). I did this in preparation for doctoral program in history at Syracuse University where I earned my graduate degree. One the requirements was the ability to conduct research in a foreign language. Now was really naive I had convinced myself that after the three month immersion program I would be close to fluency in Spanish—fat chance, it took of course several years. I would go on to spend several summers living in Guadalajara, Mexico in the 1990s learning Spanish and exploring the cuisine. My most vivid memory was a small bakery on a cobble stone street in down town Guadalajara that sold miniature pecan pie like treats (pay de nuez). The filling had the most splendid pastry texture that was a combination of sugar and ground pecans, they were delicious! Pecans are indigenous to the state of Jalisco and thus the Amerindians of region had been cooking and baking with them long before the arrival of the Spanish in the sixteenth century. Here is a recipe mini Mexican pecan pie in Spanish and English below:
