Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 110 grams Unsalted Butter
- 200 grams Pecan Halves
- 150 grams Light Brown Sugar
- 50 grams Granulated Sugar
- 3 pieces Large Eggs
- 180 ml Dark Corn Syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 piece Prepared Pie Crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pecan halves and toast them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.
Slowly stir the melted butter (from toasting the pecans) into the mixture, ensuring it's fully incorporated.
Arrange the toasted pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring all nuts are covered and the filling distributes evenly.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they start to brown too quickly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, allowing the filling to fully set.
Slice and serve the butter pecan pie at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
