Today's Case:

Mckenzie's Bakery Layered Pecan Pie

This wasn't a request. I stumbled upon this while searching for a different Mckenzie's Bakery recipe that someone requested.

This recipe comes from photos of scribbled notes that were posted on a Facebook page called "old fashioned family recipes."
I was searching this page for posts that mentioned "Mckenzies Bakery" and I scored a hit with this post: Layered Pecan Pie.
It appears that the poster's mother obtained the recipe from her husband's father, who was a baker at Mckenzie's. If you click on the pie link, you can see the photos. One is a photo of the baker himself, and the other three are photos of parts of a handwritten recipe for the pie. It is not structured like a proper recipe and I find it a bit confusing. It's more like notes about the recipe than like a recipe. I have no additional information about it. I have provided a transcription below of the three pages. Perhaps you can interpret them and make the pie.

That Facebook page is a group, so you might have to join the group before you can post a question on it.
