- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 cups Pecans, finely chopped
Instructions
Layer the dry ingredients in a 1-quart (32-ounce) jar in the following order: flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, and chopped pecans. Pack down each layer as tightly as possible to ensure the ingredients fit and look neat.
Seal the jar with a lid, and optionally decorate with ribbon and a gift tag.
Include the following baking instructions for the recipient: 'Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, empty the contents of the jar and mix well.
