DECADENT PECAN NUT PIE


PECAN PIE

Use the freshest pecans you can, since aged nuts can go rancid.

Ingredients


  • Pre-made Short-crust pastry
  • 4 Tbls butter
  • 3 large Eggs, Slightly Beaten
  • 1 Cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 Cup granulated Sugar (dark brown for baking)
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 160g Broken pecans

Preheat oven to 200 deg C
  1. Bake the crust first at 200 deg C for 10 mins. To stop the crust from fluffing up and rising, line with some foil and weight it down or you can just pop holes in it with a fork. Remember to turn oven down again to 135 deg C
    or if you're not experienced with pie shells don't bother with this step.

  2. Melt butter and mix remaining ingredients - blend really well (use electric beater if you have).

  3. Fold in pecans and pour into shell.
Slow bake it at the low temp of 135 deg C to ensure even baking for 60 mins. Serve after fully cooled. I like to refridgerate it a bit after it has cooled.

Lost my special recipe (or should I say lent it to my daugher!)and am so happy to find the same recipe. The maple syrup is the trick! So thanks... and oh, the 'decadent' was the right lead from the dozen or so other recipes to choose from.
