ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie shell (8-1/2 inch to 9 inch)
- 1⁄2 cup pecan pieces
- 3 eggs
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons Bourbon (optional)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pecan halves
directions
- Dry roast the 1/2 cup of pecan pieces in a 300 degree F oven until dark; keep an eye on them so they don't burn, though. I start checking after 5 minutes and check frequently after that. When they're dark, transfer pecan pieces to a cutting board or plate and crush a little until they're in very small pieces. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, bourbon (if using), salt and reserved roasted pecan pieces. Combine thoroughly then stir in the 1 cup of unroasted pecan halves.
- Pour mixture into an unbaked prepared pie shell, place pan on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
- Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F and bake until filling is browned on top and crust is lightly browned; start checking after about 30 minutes in the oven.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly before serving.
