Surprise Strawberry Meringue Pie

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 deg.

Crush crackers fine (easiest to do in food processor).

Add baking powder, mix well. Set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff, not dry.

Beat in sugar, a little at a time. When whites hold stiff peaks, fold in vanilla, pecans, and crumbs, mixing well.

Pour into well-buttered 9 inch pie plate.

Bake 30 minutes until golden brown and firm.

Let cool. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries.
