1 1/4 cups crushed Ritz crackers
1 cup chopped pecans
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Saving 1/4 cup of pecans for top, mix Ritz and pecans together.

Beat eggs until almost stiff.

Sift together baking powder and sugar. Add crackers and pecans. Fold in eggs all at once, then add vanilla extract. Pour into a greased pie pie plate and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool and top with whipped cream and reserved 1/4 cup chopped pecans. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
