Classic Old Fashioned Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

Ingredients

3 large eggs

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 cup light corn syrup, preferably Karo

2 tbsp unsalted butter, preferably Land O’Lakes, softened

1 tbsp all-purpose flour, heaping

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

1 crust pie crust, unbaked homemade or commercial, preferably Pillsburry

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

If using a homemade crust, prepare the pie crust by placing it into an ungreased, regular 9-inch glass pie plate and fluting the edges.

Whisk the eggs together, then whisk in the sugar.

Stir in the corn syrup and the softened butter; mix well.

Add the flour and the vanilla; combine well.

Fold in the pecans.

Pour mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake at for about 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Shield the outside edges of the pie with a pie shield or aluminum foil about halfway through cooking to prevent over-browning.

Let the pie cool down completely, slice, then serve!
