classic pecan pie

Make this traditional all-American Thanksgiving dessert for a celebratory dinner party. Our classic pecan pie recipe is best served with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream

Pecan pie

flour,

pack sweet shortcrust pastry

butter, softened

golden caster sugar

golden syrup

maple syrup

eggs, beaten

vanilla extract

pecan halves

whipped,

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry. Use the pastry to line a 23cm tart tin, keeping any off-cuts in case you need to fill any cracks after blind-baking. Prick the base of the pastry case with a fork and chill for 30 mins, or until firm.

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line the pastry case with baking parchment, fill with baking beans and bake for 15-20 mins until the sides are set. Remove the beans and parchment and return the tin to the oven for 5-10 mins until the pastry is golden and the base is set. Leave to cool.

Increase oven to 200C/190C fan/gas 6. Use an electric whisk to beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Keep the beaters going and pour in both of the syrups. Gradually add the eggs, ¼ tsp salt and the vanilla, then whisk until combined. Stir through the pecans, then pour the mixture into the tart case. Bake for 10 mins. Turn heat down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and continue baking for 30-35 mins (the pie should be golden brown and the filling should wobble a little in the centre when shaken). Leave to cool in the tin. You’ll probably need to run a knife around the tin to lift out the pie. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

This old-fashioned southern pecan pie recipe is the holiday classic that everyone loves with plenty of crunchy pecans surrounded by gobs of sweet goo. AND you&#039;ll learn the secret to never over or under-baking this classic southern dessert again!

Southern Pecan Pie

corn syrup (white

eggs (room temperature)

sugar

brown sugar (packed)

butter

kosher salt

pecans

pie crust (unbaked)

Fit the pie dough into a 9-inch pie pan.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Toast the pecans for a few minutes in the oven being careful not to scorch them; set aside.

Mix the eggs well, add the corn syrup and melted butter.

Add the white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt; beat well.

Stir in the pecans.

Pour the pecan pie filling into the pie shell.

Bake for 1 hour at 350F. You may need to let it bake 5 more minutes. Pie will still be jiggly - it will register 185- 200F on an instant read thermometer when done.

Refrigerate overnight!!!!!

Serve or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Made this pie today and it was delicious!!

Marye,  I always get rave reviews on my pecan pies.  Personally, I felt they could be improved just a twinge.  Well....now I have it....your recipe!!!  Your recipe makes the most delectable pecan pie ever!  The toasting of the pecans adds a great flavor.  Followed your recipe including the instructions for the various chopping of the pecans.   I love there is still plenty of "custard" in the pie even with all the pecans.  This is now my go to pecan pie recipe.  Thank you for sharing with us Pinterest bakers!

Absolutely going to make this pie! Can't wait to eat it! 🥧

This pecan pie recipe is fabulous! I decided to toss my usual recipe this year and try your version, and I am glad I did. It was just the right amount of pecans and the filling was buttery and gooey, just what you’re hoping for with a pecan pie. I also appreciated the hint about the temp of the filling, mine was 190 when I took it out and it was spot-on. Thanks so much!

Just made 2 pies. Couldn't wait til they cooled. My granddaughter said that it is bussin'.. that's slang for really good, apparently.

I made this pie I followed the directions and it came out perfect. I’m not a fan of pecan pie but this is my new favorite!! And I will be making it again.

I couldn’t find my usual pecan pie recipe and used this one. There is no going back, it’s SO delicious!

I have never made or tasted pecan pie. I was designated the pie lady this year and one of the pies requested to make (or buy) was pecan pie. Buying is never an option for me so I began my Pinterest search. I settled on this one. I think it was actually very simple. I followed it to the T…maybe adding a few extra pecans and toasting them slightly prior to adding them to the ingredients. It was a hit. The compliment on this recipe, “I can’t believe you’ve never tasted or made a pecan pie before and you made this! This is great.” Side note - I finally tasted a pecan pie. Very rich in flavor. Thanks for the simple and great recipe! I’ll be passing it along to those who want it!
