recipe help

I tried Googling the recipe to see if I could help you out. Every one I found omits the pan size *and* the yield, which makes it difficult to judge the size of the pan.

I think a 13"x9" pan would be too big, given the volume of the ingredients. Trying to spread that small amount of paste over such a large area would be a nightmare. I'd try a 9"x9" pan first and see how that works out. If anyone else wants to make a guess, here's the entire recipe:

Southern Pecan Bars

Mix first 4 ingredients together to make a smooth paste and pat into a greased baking pan. Bake 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Cool while preparing topping. Beat eggs; add sugar and vanilla. Beat again. Mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Sift over coconut and pecans, then add to egg mixture. Pour onto baked crust. Bake 20 to 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Just thought I'd take a moment to second that guess. I think you're right, an 8x8 or 9x9-inch pan. They sound good!
