Texas Pecan Pie (Best Recipe)

Step 1

Grab a big bowl and combine the flour and salt. Mix it well so that everything is evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add the shortening until you get a crumbly texture of the dough.

Step 3

Slowly start adding cold water. Use a form to toss it around until you form an even ball.

Step 4

Rill out the dough until it’s around 9 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Grab a pie plate and transfer the rolled dough to it. Be sure that the crust is around half an inch wider than the pie plate.

Step 6

Once it's done, flute the edges and sprinkle in pecans.

Step 7

Grab a small bowl and add the corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, sugar, and salt. Beat well until everything is smooth and homogenous.

Step 8

Pour the mixture over the pecans, making sure that it’s distributed evenly.

Step 9

Put it in the oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around 45-50 minutes. To make sure it’s fully done, grab a knife or fork and pierce the middle of the pie. If the knife comes out clean, that means that the pie is ready.

Step 10

Cool it on a wire rack before cutting and serving.
