The Perfect Pecan Pie Recipe
Pecan pie, a beloved Southern dessert, is a perfect blend of sweet, nutty, and buttery flavors. This classic recipe features a gooey, caramelized filling made with Karo Light Corn Syrup, eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla, all nestled in a flaky, homemade simple pie crust and topped with a generous amount of pecans.
Equipment
- 9-inch pie pan
Ingredients
Simple Pie Crust:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp water
Pecan Pie Filling:
- 1 cup Karo Light Corn Syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups pecans
Instructions
Prepare the Simple Pie Crust:
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add oil and water, stirring until a dough forms. Shape into a ball and chill if desired. Grease a 9-inch pie pan.
- Place the dough ball into the pan or roll it out on a floured surface before transferring. Press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan, ensuring even thickness. Crimp the edges for decoration if desired.
For the Pecan Pie:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly stir the Karo Light Corn Syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
- Gently fold in the pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely for at least two hours before serving.
Notes
The pie is done if the center springs back when pushed.
