This delightful Southern Pecan Pie is a classic dessert that brings a sweet and nutty flavor to your holiday table.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups corn syrup
- 4 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups pecans, coarsely broken
- 1 unbaked deep dish pie shell
Directions:
- In a saucepan, boil the sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.
- At this point, it’s a good idea to strain the mixture to ensure it’s smooth and lump-free.
- Stir in the butter, vanilla, and pecans, then pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until set.
Enjoy this rich and decadent pecan pie as a perfect ending to your meal!
