Ingredients

FOR THE DOUGH:

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/4 cup ice water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Using the large holes of a hand grater, grate the butter into the mixing bowl with the flour mixture. Lightly blend the butter and flour mixture with your fingertips until the texture is like coarse cornmeal. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Add the ice water and blend until thoroughly incorporated. Form the dough into a ball and place it on a floured cutting board. Roll out the dough, adding flour as necessary, to 1/8-inch thick. Place an 8 1/2-inch pie pan face down on the dough and cut the dough to fit the pan, leaving a border of about 1-inch. Line the pie pan with the dough, trim the edges, and refrigerate until ready to use.

FOR THE FILLING:

3 eggs
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup darkly roasted pecans, ground
1 cup medium pecan pieces

In an electric mixer with the wire whisk attachment, add the eggs and beat on high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, salt, and ground roasted pecans. Beat on medium speed until well blended. Stir in the pecan pieces. Pour the filling into the pie shell. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees and bake until the filling is browned on top and the crust is light golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

The best Pecan Pie I ever made!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was in the grocery store last year and forgot to write down the ingredients to make Pecan Pie. I called my Mom who looked... up a recipe on Food Network to tell me what to get. That was the first time I ever made this recipe and I will never switch! I was never a fan of Pecan Pie but this recipe converted me! The BEST!!Read more

As easy as 1..2..3!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a wonderful easy recipe. I've used my Grandmothers recipe for years and decided to find an easier one. This was just as... good as Grandma's recipe! I was shocked and pleased. I have also made many copies for friends and family to try.Read more

Nutty flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Friends always ask for this recipe whenever I make it. I have made if for a couple years, and a friend just asked for the... recipe again today to make for Thanksgiving. It has a wonderful nutty flavor. I like to medium roast the pecans rather than dark roasted. Friends love this with Chantilly Cream I make with Grand Marnier and Brandy.Read more

good if you like uncooked/burnt food
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I follwed the directions exactly and the pie did not come out correctly. The inside was like liquid and the outside was hard... and crunchy. Waste of time and money, try another one!Read more
