• 1/2-1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 if roasting pecans, place on a greased cookie sheet in preheated 350 degree oven. spread them out in a thin layer to roast evenly.
• 2 roast for 5 minutes, stir, then roast for another 5 minutes until you can smell them. take care not to scorch them!
• 3 as soon as they come out of the oven, place them on a flat plate or piece of parchment paper to cool.
• 4 add cooled pecans to food processor and blend on high until finely ground, 2-3 minutes.
• 5 add vegetable oil 1/2 tbs at a time and continue to blend until butter reaches desired consistency.
