Pineapple Pudding
Mrs. P. E. Dawson

Crush 1-2 pound vanilla wafers put half in bottom of square buttered dish or pan. Cream 1-2 cup butter, add 1 1-2 cups powdered sugar and 2 well beaten eggs. Beat all together until it is a fluffy mixture. Pour this on top of crumbs. Whip 1-2 pint cream and add 1 medium can crushed pineapple (which has been drained) and 1 cup pecans chopped fine. Pour on top of egg and sugar mixture. Over all put remaining crumbs. Serve with or without whipped cream. Let stand 24 hours before serving.
