Southern Pecan Pie

My friend Michele, asked me for a Pecan Pie recipe (and although I would not categorize this recipe as healthy – I would definitely categorize it as delicious.) That being said I am going to deliver a few recipes that might be of interest. (They are to follow!)  This is the recipe that was handed down to me from my family in East Tennessee (well they would have made a pie crust from scratch...but I just use the frozen one).


Southern Pecan Pie

1 – 9-inch Frozen Pie Crust (thawed)
3 – Eggs (Well-beaten)
1 Cup – Pecans (Roughly Chopped)
1 Tbsp – Butter, Melted
1 Cup – Light Corn Syrup
½ Tsp – Vanilla Extract
1 Cup – Natural Raw Cane Sugar.
1 Tbsp – All Purpose Flour

Preheat oven to  350°.  Prepare pie crust per instructions.

Beat eggs until they are frothy. Arrange pecans in botttom of the unbaked pie crust.

Add butter, corn syrup and vanilla extract to the eggs – Blend Well!

Combine Sugar and fllur and blend throrougly with the egg mixture.

Pour over the pecans in the pie crust. Let stand until the pecans rise to the surface.

Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.  A glaze will form during the baking.

Let cool sufficiently prior to slicing pie.  Serve with a scoop of ice cream if you like.
