Classic Southern Pecan Pie
You will need:
1 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure the pie cooks evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they're fully combined. This will form the base of your pie filling.
- Next, stir in the pecans. Make sure they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into your unbaked 9-inch pie crust. Make sure to spread it evenly to avoid any uneven baking.
- Place the pie in your preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes. You'll know it's done when the filling is set and doesn't jiggle when you gently shake the pie.
- Lastly, let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set up and make it easier to slice.
Notes
For an extra touch of Southern hospitality, serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Also, the pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.
