Answers:
There is always bread pudding and bananas foster and you can find a million recipes on line for those, but this pecan pie is my alltime favorite. It is not just a bunch of sugary goo in the middle like many recipes. It is flavorful and rich. And, having had pecan trees in our backyard growing up in New Orleans, the ingredients were easy to get!
Buttered Pecan Pie
? cup unsalted butter
? cup light corn syrup
? cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
3 eggs
? teaspoon salt
1 ? cups toasted pecans
9” pie shell
Preheat oven to 375. In a medium saucepan, heat butter over low heat until it turns golden-amber; do not burn. Immediately pour in cream to stop cooking and pour mixture into a mixing bowl. Blend in brown sugar, salt, corn syrup and vanilla. Beat in eggs by hand until well blended. Stir in pecans.
Pour into shell (crimp edges as high as possible) and cover edges with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is set and pastry golden. Cool at least 2 hours before serving.
To toast pecans: spread pecans on cookie sheet and bake in 375 degree oven for 5-10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
