Old Fashioned Southern Pecan Pie Recipes

CLASSIC SOUTHERN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a mixing bowl combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, vanilla extract, melted butter, eggs and flour together with a whisk or spatula.
• Add the pecans to the bottom of a store bought pie shell.
• Line a sheet pan with foil and place the pie plate on the sheet pan. This will help with spills and it's easier to handle transferring the pie in and out of the oven.
• Pour the filling mixture over the pecans.
• Place the pie into the oven and then cover with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes covered. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until set.
• Remove from the oven and cool completely before serving. A pecan pie can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and butter.
• Pour chopped pecans into the unbaked pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the chopped pecans, which will rise to the surface. Gently lay the whole pecans around the top of the pie in a decorative pattern (or chop them all up and do the whole pie with chopped pecans if you don't want to bother with making it look fancy.
• Bake the pie for 60-70 minutes until set. It's okay if it is slightly wobbly in the center still. Cool completely for at least 3 hours before slicing so the pie has time to set up.
