Original Recipe Yield 1 pie
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) pie shell
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Prick pastry shell in several places with a fork and bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, salt, and pecans. Mix well, then pour into pie shell.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Check after 30 minutes; if crust is getting too brown, cover edges with aluminum foil. When done, pie will be a little loose in center, but will set as it cools; do not overbake.
