This is a great basic, no-frills recipe
for the southern classic, pecan pie. You want good old-fashioned
pecan pie, this is it.
Pecan Pie
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 unbaked (9-inch) pastry shell
- Stir together eggs and sugar until blended.
Stir in corn syrup and next 3 ingredients. Stir in chopped pecans.
Pour mixture into pastry shell. Place pie on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (205°C) on lower
oven rack for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F
(160°C), and bake 40 to 45 minutes, shielding with aluminum
foil to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie.
