Last time we posted “the crust”, this time we are focusing on some ideas for pie filling. A favorite pie around our parts is pecan. This is a very versatile recipe that always turns out perfect!

The Perfect Pecan Pie
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1/4 Cup Melted Butter
- 1-2 Cups Pecans (whole or chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
- Beat eggs slightly in a 2 quart bowl.
- Stir in sugar, corn syrup and melted butter.
- Add pecans (chopped or whole) either one cup for gooey pie and two cups for chewy, nuttier pie.
- Stir pecans to coat.
- Add filling to prepared raw pie dough.
- Bake in center of oven 35-40 minutes or until filling is slightly firm.
Notes
- Center of pie may look soft when pie is gently shaken, but it will become firm when cool.
- You can add 1 Tablespoon of Whiskey or Bourbon (reduce the butter by same amount) for a kick or line the pie crust with a thin layer of fudge before you cook it if you want a bit of chocolate with your pecans. Serve with homemade whipped cream.
