pour into TWO pans? if i pour batter into 2 pans, where is the batter i pour over the pecan/sugar filling?

well, darned if i didn't have the same difficulty as you, cyn. Per LJ, it seems you divide the batter into 4 bowls.......

Hi Cynthia, the recipe reads: "Spray two 10" tube pans. Divide half the batter between the two pans." So you're putting 1/4 of the batter in each pan at the beginning (using half of the batter), then sprinkling on the filling, and then pouring the remainder of the batter into the pans (the remaining half, split between the two pans).
