Pecan Pie IV

Several cooks commented that this was their first pecan pie, which caused me to ponder and realize I have made over 100 pecan pies! Here are a few tips: - This recipe is the classic variety, which is really the best. Slight changes in the classic recipe include using white vs. brown sugar, using dark vs. light corn syrup, using 2 vs. 4 Tbsp. butter. All are good, personal taste determines your choice. - Someone commented they heard pecan pie is hard to make. It's VERY easy to make, just don't tell your guests! - Don't over beat the eggs; you don't want them frothy. Melt the butter in a measuring cup and then use the buttered cup to measure the corn syrup so it will all come out of the cup. - This recipe fills a deep dish pan. If you use a shallow pan then a double recipe will make three pies. - Do mix the pecan in with the filling or put them in the pan before the filling. They float immediately to the top. Mixing them in (rather than adding them on top) insures that they have a nice glaze on them. - Extra pecans may seem like a great idea, but they can't all get to the top so it's a waste. 1-1/2 cups may be too much depending on your pan size. If I'm making several pies at once, I cover the bottom of the pans with pecans and then pour the filling on top. I use a fork to flip them over to look pretty after they float up. - Check to see if pie is done by shaking the pan a bit. If it doesn't jiggle it's done. The depth of your pan/crust determines how long it will need t

I used this recipe for my first attempt at pecan pie because it looked fairly simple...and it definitely was! I followed the recipe perfectly and only changed to a deep-dish pie crust, which worked out well. It baked for 55 minutes before I pulled it out of the oven because it looked done. (Hard to tell with this type of pie.) Then I served it to friends after it was cooled down to room temperature, and everyone loved it. Very sweet and a rich, creamy consistencey with a crunch - everything a pecan pie should be. Thanks for the simple recipe!

Great pie, especially for a first timer. I live in the UK and used this for my first Thanksgiving..it was a great way to introduce my British friends to the holiday. Very nutty--also very rich but not as overwhelming as some pecan pies. It did take almost twice the given baking time, but I just left it in till the knife came clean as she said and it was fine.

OMG! This is the best and easiest pecan pie ever! It was the first one I ever made because I had heard it was difficult, but this one was terrific. Only change I made was putting pecans on the top. Oh, and I had to use a deep dish pie crust.

I made this for my father's coming home party. Since he loves pecan pie so much, I got this recipe. It was so gooey and delisious, it my family chanting for more!

This was super easy! I had never made a pecan pie before and everyone loved it so much, that I didn't even get a piece! One tip, use a deep dish pie crust.

A rich tasting pie that is super easy to make.

Tasted good, but I cooked it for 70 minutes and it still did not set up as it needed too. A little runny. I could have cooked it longer but my crust had had enough.

This recipe does need a deep dish pie shell, however, if you only have a regular pie shell only use: 2 eggs 2/3 cups of corn syrup 2/3 cups of brown sugar 2 tsp. of flour 1 1/2 tbsps. of butter 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup of pecans The recipe calculator doesn't do this calculation.

Didn't have any dark syrup, so I decided to try this recipe. Easy to make and tasted great. Used frozen pie crust and had filling left over. Will make again when I don't have dark syrup. Thanks.
