Introduction
- What would Thanksgiving dinner be without pecan pie? Fortunately, pecan pie is simple to make from scratch. The filling ingredients are mixed in one bowl and then baked in a pastry crust.
-
Step 1: Pecan Pie Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) of butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup or maple syruphttp://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/18/Traditional-Pecan-Pie
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cream, if you like a richer pie (optional)http://www.chowhound.com/topics/279986
- 2 tablespoons brandy, bourbon, rum, or whiskey (optional)
- 1 bottom pie crust
-
Step 2: Pecan Pie Equipment
- 9 inch pie pan
- Large bowl
- Microwave safe dish (for melting butter)
- Fork or whisk (for beating eggs)
- Aluminum foil or pie crust protector
- Spoon or electric beater (depending on whether you want to use elbow grease to mix your ingredients or not)
- Optional: Knife (to chop nuts)
- Optional: Cutting board (to chop nuts)
-
Step 3: How to Make Pecan Pie
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place your pie crust in the pie pan and refrigerate until your filling's ready.
- Optional: Coarsely chop most of your pecans into pieces that are about 1/2 to 1/4" in size.
- Chopping the nuts makes them easier to eat in the pie, but if you enjoy whole pecans in your pie, feel free to skip this step.
- If you do chop the pecans, keep a few whole ones in reserve to place on top of the pie.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter; microwave the butter for approximately 20 seconds or heat it on the stove.
- Use your fork or whisk to lightly beat the eggs in your large bowl.
- Mix in the:
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Melted butter
- Also add any optional ingredient(s) at this time
- Stir (or beat) ingredients until they're smooth and well-blended.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust.
- Place in the heated oven, to bake for 55-60 minutes.
- Check the pie 20 minutes into cooking time; if the crust is already brown cover it with aluminum foil or a crust protector to keep it from burning.
- If you kept whole nuts in reserve, place them decoratively on top of the pie at this time.
- After 55 minutes, check the pie. The center should be firm but still slightly springy. If it's still soggy, cook it for another five minutes.
