Mexican Wedding Cakes aka Russian teacakes

1 C butter or margarine, softened
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 C flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 C finely chopped pecans

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix thoroughly butter, sugar & vanilla. Work in flour, salt & nuts until dough holds together. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes or unti set but not brown. While warm, roll in powdered sugar (it will melt onto the ball). Cool. Roll in powdered sugar again. The moisture will hold the new layer of sugar.
