DECADENT PECAN NUT PIE

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