Photo: Pecan Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup (1 stick butter), melted
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- One 9-inch deep dish pie shell, unbaked, or homemade pastry
- 1 cup pecan halves
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs until creamy. Add the chopped pecans, melted butter, milk, flour and vanilla extract and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Arrange the pecan halves on top of the pie in a circular pattern.
Bake the pie for 55 minutes. Check for doneness by shaking the pan slightly. The pie should be firm with only a slight jiggle in the center. It will set more as it cools. Serve topped with vanilla ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream.

I don't understand the good ratings. It's an easy recipe, and perhaps I did something wrong, but this was my least favorite pecan pie (and as a native southerner, I have tried a lot of pecan pies!. The pecan layer on the top disappeared into the crust, which was irregular and cracked. And the pie itself was generally a solid mass of pecans - too dense. I prefer the mixed texture of pecans with a semisolid or soft component, which was lacking in this pie. I guess I'll go back to karo syrup, as it's hard to mess that one up.

Simply the best pecan pie I have ever eaten. I have been making pecan pies for years,. I have won prizes for my pies but I will never make another with syrup! This is a must try, you will be surprised.
It was easy to put together. I had dark brown sugar so that is what I used. It baked exactly for 55 minutes and came out perfect. No worries about the crust burning. Can't write enough about this pie. Will make again!
