Add water to driest particles, pushing lumps to side, until dough is just moist enough to hold together.

Form into a ball. Flatten to 1/2-inch thickness; smooth edge.

Roll out on floured surface in a circle, 1 1/2-inches larger than inverted 9-inch pie pan.

Fit loosely into pan.

Fold edge to form a standing rim; flute.

Spread cream cheese mixture in bottom of pastry-lined pan. Sprinkle with pecans.

Gently pour syrup mixture over pecans. Bake at 375° for 35 to 40 minutes, until center is firm to touch.
