Pecan Pie

Pecan Pie Recipe

Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 8 tablespoons Hiland Dairy Butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Hiland Dairy Buttermilk
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the foil. Stir the pecan halves, light brown sugar and dark corn syrup together in a small bowl. Spread the mixture out on the jelly-roll pan and bake, stirring every 4 minutes, for 13 to 15 minutes or until glaze thickens. Remove the pan from the oven and spread the pecans in a single layer of wax paper. Let the pecan cool completely, separating them with a spoon as they cool.

Lower the oven to 325°F. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Scatter the chopped glazed pecans evenly on top of the pie filling. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until set. Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving at room temperature.
