Southern Pecan Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated (White) Sugar
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 6 tbsp. unsalted Butter, melted
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 3 cups Chopped Pecans
- 1 9 ″ Single Pie Crust (Homemade or Pillsbury Refrigerated Crust)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Carefully roll pie crust out into 10″ Cast Iron Skillet, then flute or crimp edges. (I used the end of a fork to make a little pattern around the edge)
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy.
- Add Sugar, Flour, Melted Butter, Vanilla, Salt, Lemon Juice, and Corn Syrup.
- Mix thoroughly, then stir in Pecans.
- Pour mixture into pie crust shell.
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes, or until set and golden.
- Important: Cool on wire rack for a minimum of 3 hours, to allow pie to finish setting. For best results, I prefer to let mine set overnight.
