Pecan Pie. Pecan Pie is always a favorite with my family and this one is dynamite! One thing that should be in the instructions is that the water and corn starch are mixed together before adding to the sugar mixture. This easy pecan pie recipe is a classic dessert that's perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
You can have Pecan Pie using 7 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.
Ingredients of Pecan Pie
- Prepare 1 cup of dark corn syrup.
- Prepare 3 of eggs (beaten).
- You need 1 cup of sugar.
- Prepare 2 tbsp of butter (melted).
- It’s 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
- Prepare 1 1/2 cup of pecans (I like a mixture of halves & chopped).

While the first printed recipes for the pie started Most pecan pie recipes I've found call for two cups of sugar—one cup of corn syrup plus one cup of. We thought pie was everything we wanted on Thanksgiving, but we just saw these cupcakes and now we're second guessing everything. Pour the pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Pour the syrup mixture over the top.
Pecan Pie step by step
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a medium bowl, stir the first 5 ingredients thoroughly.
Pour into pie crust and cover with pecans.
Bake on middle rack for 60 minutes.
Cover pie with foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes (until middle is springy).
Cool for 2-3 hours before slicing (or it'll be runny!).
The pie should not be overly jiggly when you remove it from the oven (though it will jiggle a bit). Before I leave you with the recipe, let me share my tips for freezing pecan pie. This is a wonderful dessert to make ahead of time to freeze for Thanksgiving. One might ask what this Japanese born Aussie gal is doing, determined to master this great American classic. Well, it goes back to the story of this website.
