Pastry
1 cup all-purpose flour
12 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, slightly softened
2 tablespoons water
Topping
1 cup water
12 cup Land O Lakes® Butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 cup all-purpose flour
Glaze
1 12 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
14 cup chopped pecans
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2
Place 1 cup flour into bowl; cut in 1/2 cup butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 2 tablespoons water. Shape mixture into ball. Divide in half.
STEP 3
Pat each half into 12x3-inch rectangle about 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Set aside.
STEP 4
Combine 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat 6-8 minutes or until mixture comes to a full boil and butter is melted. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and lemon zest. Remove from heat; stir in 1 cup flour. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat.
STEP 5
Add eggs, one at a time, beating with whisk or wooden spoon until smooth and glossy.
STEP 6
Spread half of egg mixture over each pastry rectangle. Bake 50-55 minutes or until surface is crisp and golden. Cool at least 20 minutes. (Topping rises during baking and shrinks during cooling, forming custard-like layer.)
STEP 7
Combine powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in bowl. Beat at low speed 1 minute. Beat at high speed until desired glazing consistency.
STEP 8
Spread glaze over pastry; sprinkle with pecans. Cut into slices.
