  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6      large         Eggs -- separated
   3      cups          Sugar
   1      cup           Butter
   3      cups          Flour -- plain
     1/2  teaspoon      Baking soda
                        Sour cream (small carton)
   1      teaspoon      Vanilla extract
   2      cups          Pecans -- chopped

Grease tube pan; preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Set two sticks of butter aside to soften.  
Separate eggs; beat whites till stiff and set aside.

 Cut butter into sugar.  Add egg yolks and beat a little.

 Measure flour; use a small amount to mix with nuts until they are well-floured.
  Mix soda into flour.  Stir flour into butter/sugar/egg mixture. 
 Add sour cream and vanilla.  Can do all this with an electric mixer,
 but now use a spoon to fold in egg whites.

 Fold in nuts and bake approximately 1 1/2 hours until done.
