9 1/2 oz Butter
 4 1/2 oz Sugar
     2    Egg yolks
     4 ts Vanilla
   1/3 ts Salt
    12 oz Flour
   1/2 c  Chopped pecans
 1 1/2 c  Pecan halves
          Honey
          Confectioners sugar
     2    Bananas; thinly sliced

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl beat butter and sugar
 until well creamed. Add egg yolks and vanilla, mix until combined.
 Slowly add salt, flour and chopped pecans. Mixture should begin
 forming into dough. Chill. On baking pan, in oven, toast pecan halves
 for about 7 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with honey. Coat
 with sugar. Set aside. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll into
 3/8-inch thickness. Cut into 4-inch disks. Bake until light brown,
 about 12 to 15 minutes. On plate place cookies in a circle. Arrange
 bananas around cookies. Dust bananas with sugar and caramelize with a
 propane torch. Place honey sugar pecans in center and top with
 vanilla ice cream.
