Pecan Pie is a sweet

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
  2. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough comes together.
  4. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out dough and fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp edges.

2. Make the Filling:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  2. Stir in pecan halves.

3. Assemble & Bake:

  1. Pour filling into prepared crust.
  2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until filling is set (slightly jiggly in the center is okay).
  3. If crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

4. Cool & Serve:

  • Allow pie to cool completely before slicing to let filling set.
  • Serve plain, with whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

  • Toasting the pecans lightly before adding them enhances their flavor.
  • For a slightly gooier center, reduce baking time by 5–10 minutes.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
