Pecan Pie My Grandmothers Food

GRANDMA'S PECAN PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9 inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Lightly prick bottom of the crust with a fork. Place in the fridge and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze no longer than 10 minutes).
• Melt the butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the sugars, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest (optional), and salt. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl, then combine with the corn syrup mixture.
• Place the pecan halves in the chilled pie shell and then pour the filling mixture evenly over them.
• Cover your pie with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until center is set and not overly wiggly. Check it often.
• Remove from the oven when done and set on a wire rack to cool for about 1 hour, then refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
• Pie can be made 1-2 days ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.

PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Chill the unbaked pie crust for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator or freezer. Use parchment paper or aluminum foil to line the inside of the chilled crust, shaping it gently around the inner edges to form a mold of the crust. Fill the bottom of the crust with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pie pan from the oven, carefully lift out the foil/parchment and weights, and set them aside. Decrease the oven heat to 350°F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. Add eggs and whisk until smooth. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the butter turns brown and fragrant. Slowly pour butter into the sugar mixture, and whisk to combine. Chop 2 cups of the pecans, then stir them into the butter and sugar mixture until combined.
• Pour the entire filling into the prepared pie crust. Line the top of the filling with the remaining pecans (about 2 cups, more or less).
• Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. After the first 20 to 25 minutes of baking time, you are welcome to loosely tent a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the whole pie if the crust or pecans seem to be browning too quickly. The pie will be ready to go once the top has puffed up into a dome (which will sink to become flat again, once the pie has set and cooled). Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let it rest until it reaches room temperature.
• Slice and serve pie at room temperature (or you can refrigerate and chill the pie, if you prefer), garnished with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Cover and store leftover pie at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

PECAN PIE - MY GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine syrup, sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Add slightly beaten eggs. Pour in pecans and fold into mixture.
• Put pie shell on a cookiing sheet in oven (to avoid spilling liquid going from counter to oven). Pour ingredients into shell. Bake in 350 degree pre-heated oven for 45 minutes. (keep cooking sheet under pie to avoid spilling over onto oven floor).
• **Note** My grandmother made her own pie crust but I just save time and buy the prepared ones. They are better then I can make.
