Pecan Pie Recipe

To make a pecan pie, you'll need a 9-inch pie crust, which can be homemade or store-bought. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). For the filling, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1 cup of packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves, ensuring they are evenly coated with the filling mixture. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and arrange any pecans that float to the top in a decorative pattern.

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the centre is set but still slightly jiggly. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminium foil halfway through baking. Once done, let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
