Classic Pecan Pie Recipe: Step-by-Step Guide

INGREDIENTS

CRUST

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup Crisco shortening (cold)
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2cup dark corn syrup
  • ½ cup light Karo corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups pecan halves

Directions

  1. For the crust:
    • In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt.
    • Using a pastry blender or a fork, cut in the Crisco until particles are the size of small peas.
    • Sprinkle flour mixture with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork.
    • Add water until dough is just moist enough to hold together.
  2. For the filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs until they are slightly frothy.
    • Stir in both of the corn syrups, butter, sugar, and vanilla. Mix well.
    • Add the pecan halves.
    • Pour filling into a prepared unbaked pie shell and cover the edge of crust with foil.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Bake the pie for 25 minutes and remove the foil.
  5. Continue to bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted close to the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the pie completely and refrigerate until ready to serve.
