Pecan Pie
Description
This pecan pie recipe is a classic Southern dessert featuring toasted pecans in a rich and sticky caramel filling and a buttery crust.
Ingredients
•
1 3/4 cups white sugar
•
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
•
1/4 cup butter
•
1 tablespoon cold water
•
2 teaspoons cornstarch
•
3 eggs
•
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, water, and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and let cool.
3
Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually beat in sugar-syrup mixture. Stir in pecans, vanilla extract, and salt.
4
Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake in the preheated oven until filling sets, 45 to 50 minutes. If the edges brown too quickly, loosely cover them with foil or a pie shield halfway through baking.
5
Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling fully sets.
