RYE PECAN PIE



Rye Pecan Pie image

To streamline operations in the pastry kitchen at Diner in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the restaurant's pastry chef, Avery Wittkamp, devised an enormous solution, which can be easily adopted by home cooks. She bakes this pie in a 10-inch springform pan, using a thicker, stretchable crust that can line the deep sides; it stays in place even when the pie is unmolded. Impressively, the tall bark-brown crust rises over a filling as wide, majestic and mahogany-brown as a redwood tree. She bakes the pie longer than usual to fully brown the crust, and gives it a higher crust-to-filling ratio than a traditional pie. She also deconstructs the traditional pecan pie filling into three strata: the custard, the chopped nuts and the whole nuts, each one delicious and distinct. (Don't be intimidated by homemade crust. Our pie crust guide will tell you everything you need to know.)

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, cut into dice
1/2 cup ice water, more as needed
About 5 cups dried beans (for baking)
5 eggs
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup molasses, dark or unsulfured
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons rye or bourbon, not more than 90 proof
2 cups finely chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups pecan halves
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine flour, salt and white sugar at low speed. Add butter and mix until pea-size lumps form. Raise the speed to medium-low and add 1/2 cup ice water in a slow, steady stream, mixing just until dough holds together. To test, pinch a small amount of dough. If it is crumbly, add more ice water, one tablespoon at a time. Shape dough into a ball and wrap it loosely in plastic, then roll it into a disk. Refrigerate at least one hour, or up to 3 days, before rolling. (Dough can be frozen for up to a month.)
  • Open a 10-inch springform pan, flip the bottom over so the outside surface faces in, then close. This will make removing the pie easier when it is done, by preventing the dough from sinking into the pan's crease. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a circle 16 inches in diameter. Lift it and let it settle into pan, fitting the dough down into the edges. Press the sides firmly against pan and pinch around the top rim. Trim dough with kitchen scissors so it hangs over the rim by one inch, reserving excess. Refrigerate in pan until very cold and firm, at least 45 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prick bottom of dough with a fork. Lay a piece of parchment or wax paper in pan, then a piece of aluminum foil. Fill foil lining with dried beans to top of pan. Bake 15 to 25 minutes, until the sides of the crust have set and turned a light golden brown. Remove from oven and lift out the beans, foil and parchment. Patch any holes with reserved dough, pressing firmly. Bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until golden brown. Let cool at least 30 minutes before filling.
  • Fill the pie: Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and rye or bourbon. Place baked pie shell, still in the pan, on a sheet pan. Gently pour in the filling. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over surface. Working from outside in, arrange pecan halves in concentric circles, without overlapping, until entire surface is covered. (Use only as many as needed.)
  • Bake 50 to 60 minutes, just until filling is firm and a wooden skewer comes out clean when inserted into center. (Do not worry if the overhanging crust becomes very dark brown.) Let cool completely. Use a serrated knife to saw off all overhanging pie crust. Carefully remove outer ring of pan. Slice with a large, very sharp knife and serve with whipped cream.

  • In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse together flour, sea salt, and white sugar. Add the cubed butter, and continue to pulse until the butter is cut into pea-sized bits. With the food processor running, slowly stream in 1/2 cup ice cold water until the dough starts to come together. You’ll notice a ball forming around the blade. To test the dough, pinch a small amount in your fingers. If it holds together, it’s ready. If it crumbles, pulse in a little more cold water, then repeat the test. Turn the dough out on to a work surface, and shape into a flattened disk. Wrap in plastic, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Unwrap the chilled dough and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a circle 16 inches in diameter. Carefully lift the dough up, and transfer it to a 10-inch springform pan. Gently press the dough into the bottom and sides of the pan, then trim the dough (with a knife or kitchen scissors), so it hangs over the rim by 1 inch (see photo above). Reserve the excess for nibbling plus patching later. Refrigerate the springform pan for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and place a rack in the middle of the oven. Place the prepared springform pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and prick the bottom of the dough all over with a fork. Lay a piece of parchment paper inside the pan, so it covers the dough. Fill the parchment lining with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the sides of the crust have set, and the top of the crust turns a light golden brown. Take the crust from the oven, and lift out the parchment lining (with beans). Patch any holes with reserved dough, then bake for 10 to 15 minutes more, until golden brown. Let cool at least 30 minutes before filling.
  • Reduce the oven heat to 325°F. Add eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, molasses, corn syrup, vanilla, kosher salt, and rye to a large bowl, whisking to combine. Carefully pour the filling into the cooled pie crust (still in the pan on the rimmed baking sheet). Sprinkle the surface of the filling evenly with chopped pecans. Working from the outside in, arrange the pecan halves in concentric circles until the entire surface is covered (see photo above or below). Save leftover pecan halves for snacking.
