Pecan Pie Recipe
This Southern Pecan Pie recipe is from my Mom's collection. We live in Texas Pecan country, so the nuts are plentiful. If you can get fresh pecans, they really taste much better than bagged ones, but use what you have.
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- dash salt
- 1 cup of Light Corn Syrup (or dark works great too)
- 1/2 cup of butter or margarine, melted
- 1 Tbsp. flour
- 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans
- unbaked pie shell
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with a rotary beater. Add sugar and salt; stir until dissolved.
- Stir in corn syrup, melted margarine and flour. Mix well. Add chopped pecans and pour into a 9 inch pastry shell.
- Cover the edge of pie crush with foil or a metal pie ring to prevent the crust from burning.
- Bake in a 350 oven for 25 minutes, then remove the foil or ring, and bake for 25 more minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
**Hint**I have made this recipe using pecan halves and chopped pecans, and amongst our family, we all agree that the chopped pecans taste better and are easier to cut into slices.
