Plain or Fancy? Pecan Pie is a Thanksgiving tradition. This recipe, presented in both a plain version and a fancy version, is a sure winner. You choice the flavoring, either vanilla, dark rum or bourbon.
Using either a store-bought frozen pie crust or a store-bought pre-made crust will save a great deal of time. The “better” brands really make a difference, I’ve found.
Recipe
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
Ingredients
- 2 C Pecans
- 3 large eggs, room temp
- 1 C sugar
- 1 C dark corn syrup (may substitute light)
- 3 oz butter (3/4 of a stick)
- 1 tsp vanilla, dark rum or bourbon (I prefer the bourbon, wow!)
Follow mix and assembly instructions in the video.
Bake for 35 – 45 minutes, outer edges of filling should be set, the middle should be like jello with jiggled. If crust is starting to burn, cover gently with aluminum foil.
