No Better Southern Pecan Pie

This one is the most deadly Southern Pie ever. Just be sure to cook the sugar and corn syrup first. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool down a bit, then carry on.

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups corn syrup
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 unbaked pie shell

boil sugar and corn syrup for 2-3 mins. then set aside

In a large bowl beat the eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mix into the eggs, making sure to constantly whisk. Now strain so ensue it is smooth and clear.

Stir in the butter so it can melt when stirred and add vanilla, pecans and carefully pour into pie shell.

Bake in 350 oven for 45-60 mins. I cook mine for 45 mins, turn off oven, lightly cover pie with piece of tin foil so crust doesn’t burn and set timer for 10 minutes.
