    6       lg           Eggs, separated
    3       c            Sugar
    1       c            Butter
    3       c            Flour, plain
      1/2   t            Baking soda
                         Sour cream (small carton)
    1       t            Vanilla extract
    2       c            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.
