Pecan Pie

undefined

Ingredients:

6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups of pecans, toasted then chopped (save a few whole nuts for the top)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the pecans into a large skillet over medium low heat. Toast the nuts for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until toasted and fragrant. Chop the pecans (except for a few for the top of the pie).

Melt the butter in a medium heatproof bowl set in a saucepan of water on low heat. Stir in the brown sugar and salt with a spoon until the butter is absorbed. Beat in the eggs then add the corn syrup and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is hot and shiny; about 130 degrees with a candy thermometer.

Add the pecans and mix well. Pour the pecan mixture into the pie shell then place into the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until it looks set yet soft, like gelatin, when pressed in the center. Transfer to a pie rack and let it cook for at least 2 hours. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy.
