Directions

Step 1

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.

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. In another bowl, cream 1 cup of unsalted butter (softened) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture.
