Pecan Pie
Ingredients
- 1 c. sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 c. corn syrup (or honey)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 3 Tbsp. melted butter
- 1 1/4 c. pecans (halves, or chopped)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and eggs until fully combined. Add corn syrup (or honey) and mix well. Add salt and melted butter. Mix. Stir in pecans. Pour into an unbaked pie shell. (If you need a good crust recipe, try my Buttery Pie Crust, or Diner Style Pie Crust.). Bake in a slow oven, at 325 degrees, for no less than an hour. I like to bake mine for 1 hour and 15 to 20 minutes. All ovens are different, so keep an eye on the browning. Make sure to bake long enough so the filling puffs up and begins to crack. The filling will settle in as it cools. I've never had to use a pie crust shield while baking pies at 325 degrees, but if your crust starts to brown too much, you can add a pie crust shield. You can make your own if you don't have one. Watch my World's Best Pumpkin Pie video to see how to make your own pie crust shield. Allow a pecan pie to cool fully before serving. If you chill the pie, it will slice easier. Enjoy!
