Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil.
- Add butter and slowly pour the hot mixture over the beaten eggs.
- Add pecans and pour into an unbaked pie shell that has been sprinkled with sugar and flour.
- Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark corn syrup instead of light. If you want a nuttier taste, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling. Mixing the sugar and corn syrup until fully dissolved ensures a smoother texture. Remember to let the pie cool completely before slicing to help it set properly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pecan pie warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Christmas Noel Coffee Braid for a festive dessert spread. For a balanced meal, consider serving alongside a light salad or String Beans In Sour Cream And Tomato Sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pecan pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to four days. To reheat, slice the pie and warm individual pieces in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. This will help maintain the pie's texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a pre-made pie crust for this recipe?
Yes, a pre-made pie crust can save time and effort. Just make sure to fit it into the pie dish properly and adjust the baking time accordingly, as it may bake faster than a homemade crust.
What can I substitute for corn syrup?
You can substitute corn syrup with maple syrup or honey, although the flavor and texture may differ slightly. If using honey, reduce the sugar in the recipe as honey is sweeter than corn syrup.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the filling is set and slightly puffed, and the edges of the crust are golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on the pie to avoid overbaking.
