Pecan Pie Recipe

I like making a double recipe of this pie, especially because I can just use one whole bottle of corn syrup. Makes measuring easier! Oh, and also because we LOVE it... Makes 2 pies.  


Ingredients:     
  • Two prepared, unbaked pie crusts (see below)    
  • 2/3 c. butter    
  • 1 1/3 c. sugar    
  • 1 bottle (2 c.) dark corn syrup    
  • 1 tsp. salt    
  • 6 eggs    
  • 3 c. pecans, whole  

Prepare two pie crusts (see below). For filling, add to a microwaveable bowl, and microwave the butter 1-2 minutes until melted: > 2/3 c. butter 

To butter, add: > 1 1/3 c. sugar > 1 bottle dark corn syrup > 1 tsp. salt > 6 eggs 

Mix well, stir in: > 3 c. pecans 

Pour into 2 pie shells; bake 40-50 min. at 375 degrees.


Pie Crust Recipe (two crusts)

Ingredients
  • 1 stick cold butter, sliced into pieces
  • 2 c. plus 2 TBS. flour
  • 1/4 c. cold water

Process into a coarse meal in a food processor (a fork or pastry cutter can also be used to "cut" the butter into the flour.): > 1 stick cold butter, sliced into pieces > 2 c. plus 2 TBS. flour 

Next, add the water through the top of the processor while pulsing: > 1/4 c. cold water 

Pulse just until fairly mixed. Turn dough out onto a large piece of plastic wrap; if a pastry cloth is used, flour the cloth first. Let the dough rest a few minutes, then roll it out between two pieces of plastic wrap. Remove one piece of wrap, lifting the crust into an 8-10" pie pan; ease the crust in and pinch top into decorative shape. Floured hands make forming the crust easier.  The crust may be frozen for weeks; no need to thaw it before adding filling and baking. To finish making the two pies, see instructions, top of page.
