About the recipe

This pie browns very easily so watch it and cover with aluminum if necessary during the last minutes of baking. If you are baking two or more pies at the same time, mix each separately as it is very difficult to divide the mixture.

Serves: 8

Hands on time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes

Recipe for pie crust:Here’s how to make a perfect pie crust from scratch

Ingredients

3 large eggs

3/4 cup dark Karo syrup

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup cane syrup

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups pecan halves

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie shell, unbaked

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs slightly. Whisk in the Karo syrup, sugar, cane syrup and salt. Stir in the pecans and melted butter and transfer to the pie shell. Bake until the custard sets, about 55 minutes. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
