Description

Classic pecan pie recipe perfect for holidays or any special occasion. Enjoy this sweet and nutty dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough comes together.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer dough to pie plate and crimp edges.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  6. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in pecan halves.
  7. Pour filling into pie crust.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is golden brown.
  9. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, toast pecans before adding them to the filling.
  • Cover the edges of the crust with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
  • Pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
