Pecan Butterscotch Pie Food

BUTTERSCOTCH PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Gently warm the corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter together in a saucepan until the butter melts.
• Turn off the heat and add the butterscotch chips.
• Scatter them around rather than dumping them in one spot; set the pan aside for 5 minutes, shaking it once or twice to move hot liquid over the chips.
• After 5 minutes, add the salt and whisk to smooth.
• Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolk together just until frothy.
• Whisk in the vanilla; whisk a little less than half of the hot liquid into the eggs until smooth.
• Add the rest of the hot liquid and whisk until smooth.
• Add in the pecans and stir well; turn the filling into the cooled pie shell.
• Using a fork, gently rake the filling to distribute the pecans evenly.
• Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake until the perimeter of the filling has puffed up and perhaps cracked slightly, 40-50 minutes.
• Rotate the pie 180° halfway through the baking, sot that the part that faced the back of the oven now faces forward.
• When done, the center may wobble a little, but it shouldn't seem soupy.
• Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature; or let cool thoroughly; cover with loosely tented foil; refrigerate for several hours before serving.

BUTTERSCOTCH PECAN PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix flour and salt together. Cut in the butter, using a fork or pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (you can also do this was a standing mixer on low).
• Add in the ice water, 1-2 Tbsp at a time until the dough just comes together. Once the dough comes together, turn out onto a floured surface and pat into a ball or a disc.
• Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• On a floured surface, roll out your pie dough into a large circle, about 1/8-1/4" thick. Transfer your pie dough to a 9" deep dish pie plate (I transfer the dough by loosely rolling it around my rolling pin and then unrolling it over my pie plate).
• Gently press pie dough into pie plate, and remove any excess edges (leaving about 1/4"-1/2" of overhang).
• Roll or fold the dough overhang underneath itself, so the dough rests on the edge of the pie plate, and crimp the edges.
• In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar and melted butter together. Add in the eggs, flour, salt and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
• Add in the toasted pecans and the butterscotch chips. Mix.
• Pour filling into your prepared pie crust and cover the edges with a pie shield.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center only slightly jiggles when the pie dish is gently moved or tapped.
• Allow to cool at least 1 hour before serving (otherwise the filling won't stay in the crust). This pie can be served warm, at room temperature or cold (I loved it cold!).
• Top with ice cream, whipped cream and/or caramel sauce.
• Enjoy
