Southern delight pecan pie
Southern delight pecan pie recipe in the pie category
Recipe ingredients:
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1/4 cup cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves or pieces, or 1 cup halves and pieces and 1/2 cup ground pecans
- 1 deep dish pie crust, unbaked
- 1, 9 inch, glass pie pan
Recipe method:
- To make filling, combine corn syrup and sugar in saucepan and stir to mix.
- Remove from heat, add butter and allow butter to melt.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs until liquid and whisk in salt, bourbon, cinnamon and vanilla extract.
- Whisk in syrup and butter mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Allow to cool. If you are making a crust, do so now, while the filling cools.
- Set oven rack at the lowest level of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Arrange pecans in crust.
- Skim any foam from top of filling, or the top will have an unattractively mottled surface. Pour over the pecans.
- With the back of a fork, press the pecans down into the filling so that they are covered.
- Bake the pie for about 45 minutes, until the crust is baked through and the filling is set and well puffed in the center.
- Cool the pie on a rack and serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
