Sorghum Bourbon Pecan Pie Food

SORGHUM-BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• For the crust:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch pie plate. In a food processor, pulse the cookies and flour together until pulverized. Add the butter and process until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling:
• Put the butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the syrup, bourbon, and vanilla. In a bowl, whisk the eggs together. Temper the egg mixture: slowly whisk 1/2 cup of the warm butter-sugar mixture into the eggs.
• Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the butter-sugar mixture and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is glossy, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans.
• Pour the mixture into the crust and bake until the center feels set yet soft, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack; this will take about 4 hours. Serve at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the salt, granulated sugar and 1 1/4 cups of the flour in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times. Add the butter and pulse until there are pea-size pieces. Add the ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, and pulse until the mixture barely comes together. Turn it out onto a piece of parchment paper and press into a disc. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly-dusted surface so it is large enough to fit into a 9-inch pie pan with a slight overhang. A little trick to make sure the pie crust is round: Roll out the dough from the center outward, like the rays of the sun. Place the dough in the pie pan and fold over the overhang to create a nice crust ¿ no need to cut off scraps. Pierce the base all over with a fork, line with foil and fill with baking weights or beans. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 12 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights. Return the pie crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the crust will be crisp. Allow to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Beat the brown sugar and eggs in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and mix for another 2 minutes. Add the sorghum and bourbon and mix until combined. Finish by stirring in half of the pecans.
• Sprinkle the bottom of the crust with the chocolate chips and remaining pecans. Gently pour in the pie filling. Bake until the top is firm but the center is slightly gooey, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool on the counter for 4 hours or in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Roll out dough into a 12-inch round (1/4 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, and crimp as desired. Refrigerate crust until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line crust with parchment, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge of crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, and bake until crust is golden brown and baked throughout, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Whisk together flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in eggs to combine, then stir in bourbon, sorghum, pecans, and chocolate. Melt butter, and pour over mixture; stir until thoroughly combined. Pour filling into crust, and bake until top is set but center is slightly gooey, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 1/2 hours.

SOUTHERN CHOCOLATE BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In bowl, or blender is how my mom always made pecan pies, beat eggs with fork. Add sugar, corn syrup, butter w/chocolate, vanilla, and Bourbon. Stir till well blended. This is why the blender is a great and easy idea.
• Pour into pie crust. Stir pecans into mixture, till all are incorporated, or all covered with goo :).
• Bake for 50-55 min, or when knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• *To toast pecans put into dry skillet on medium-high heat. shake skillet around till they become brown and fragant and you can really notice their color change. This will take about 7-10 minute.
