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.
