Pecan Pie
Pecan pies are the best! I love baking them, regardless of the occasion. That’s why today, I’m sharing with you an easy recipe for pecan pie that most of my loved ones always request from me. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Pie Crust Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour this makes 5 crusts; freeze remaining 4 for later use
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ¾ cups vegetable shortening
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 large egg
Pie Ingredients
- 3 large eggs beaten lightly
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup white Karo syrup light corn syrup
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup pecan halves or coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust from crust recipe above
Instructions
Pie Crust Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt with a fork. Cut in shortening until crumbly.
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg, water, and vinegar.
- Add this to the prepared flour mixture and stir until all ingredients are well moistened.
- Divide dough into five equal parts.
- Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap or place in resealable freezer bags. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen dough overnight in the fridge before rolling out.
Pie Instructions
- Roll out one portion of pie dough and line a 9-inch (23cm) pie pan. Scatter the pecans evenly across the bottom of the crust. In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the filling over the pecans.
- Bake the pie at 350°F / 175°C (160°C fan-forced) for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centre has a slight jiggle — it will firm up as it cools. A knife inserted near the centre should come out mostly clean.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing — this allows the filling to set. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate to store.
