CAJUN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add in the melted butter, and using a rubber spatula, stir well to combine.

CAJUN PECANS

Steps:

Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the nuts are fragrant and slightly darker but still a bit moist. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

CAJUN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Instructions For the Pie Crust Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Hand mix the goat cheese into the shortening until well blended and fold into the flour mixture. Add the egg and milk and stir to combine. You'll need to use your hands to continuously press down on the dough. Since it's a flaky crust, it is quite crumbly, but the moisture when pushed down will help it stay compact. Roll the dough into a ball and refrigerate for an hour, covered in plastic wrap. Roll out the dough to about a quarter of an inch thick and add flour to prevent sticking. You should have enough for 2 pies, but I usually make 1 cut out for a 9" pie pan and use pastry cut outs for decorating the pies. Butter and spray the pie pan. Flip the pan upside down onto flattened crust. It's not a forgiving texture, so you will need to slowly lift the pie pan with the dough so that you can push it down into the pan once it's right-side-up. Push the dough down over the lip of the pie pan so it's nice and snug with no over hang. For the Filling Set oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour and salt. Stir in corn syrup and melted butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the milk, pecans and vanilla paste. Allow to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Pour the filling into the pie pan with the pastry crust and add the lattice leaves or any other decorative pastry elements to the rim of the pie crust. Brush egg wash over the pie crust and lattice work. Bake the pie for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven after 50 minutes and use a tooth pick or knife to cut slits into the pie so that it cooks efficiently for the remaining 25 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the rim with foil strips. After cutting slits and using foil (optional but recommended for the rim), place the pie back in the oven for 25 minutes. Note: I like my pecan pie gooey. This isn't to say this isn't cooked! Pecan pies are like lava for 2 hours after baked, so they need to cool for 3-4 hours before serving. Let that goodness set under the outer shell of pecans. Feel free to serve with ice cream, if desired. Interested in making this recipe?
