Emily’s, Grandma Foley mini pecan pies
My niece Emily loves to bake. We all look forward to family gatherings and Emily’s mini pecan pies. She inherited this recipe from Grandma Foley on the Turner side of the family. We are happy to adopt these delicate mini southern pies into our own family. Thank you Emily!
