Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 4 tablespoons Ice water
- 1.5 cups Pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 whole Large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt to prepare the crust.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Add the melted butter and whisk until fully combined.
Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then slowly incorporate them into the filling mixture.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim the edges, and crimp as desired.
Spread the chopped pecans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Carefully pour the filling over the pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. The center should still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate experience.
