Classic Pecan Pie

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 55 to 60 minutes
Yield: 1 pie

* 3 eggs
* 1 cup sugar
* 1 cup Karo? Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
* 2 tablespoons butter OR margarine, melted
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans
* 1 (9-inch) unbaked or frozen** deep-dish pie crust

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.


2. Beat eggs slightly with fork in medium bowl. Add sugar, Karo? Corn Syrup, butter and vanilla; stir until blended. Stir in pecans. Place pie dough in pie pan. Pour pecan filling into pie crust.


3. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.


4. **To use prepared frozen pie crust: Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on preheated cookie sheet.


5. TIPS: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan. If pie crust is overbrowning, cover edges with foil.

It is like a butter custard of the loads of butter and eggs that get put in it.

It is a combination of butter, sugar, eggs and corn syrup.

It's eggs, brown sugar, syrup and butter.

Pecan pie tip...add 2 Tbls. cornstarch to the filling. It wont be runny!

It is a custard made of butter, eggs, sugar and syrup. The syrup can be cane, maple, corn (dark or light), sorghum, liquid glucose, treacle or a combination of these. The sugar can be table sugar or brown sugar. The traditional southern recipe will use all or part cane syrup. Other areas of the USA use dark or light corn syrup. Some or the more exotic recipes will have some maple syrup. There are also recipes that add a bit of chocolate and/or bourbon. In Australia I had one made with treacle.

Syrup pies, a pecan pie without the pecans and flour or cornstarch substituting for the eggs, was a popular pie during the 1930s Depression Era. The pecans and eggs were used for bartering.
