Pie Recipes: Southern Pecan Pieby Kendall

This is supposed to be an authentic Southern Pecan Pie recipe, and although I haven’t had the privilege of growing up eating a lot of pecan pies, the recipe appears to hold true to its promises. Let me know if it doesn’t! Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream and you’ll be in pie heaven!

Southern Pecan Pie

1 c. pecan halves
3 eggs
1 c. light corn syrup
1 Tbsp. melted butter or margarine
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. flour
1 (9″) unbaked pie shell

Arrange nuts in pie shell.

Beat eggs, add and blend corn syrup, butter and vanilla.

Combine sugar and flour. Blend with the egg mixture and pour over nuts in pie shell. Let stand until nuts rise, so they’ll get a nice glaze during baking.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for 45 minutes.
