Method
Crust Preparation
Make the Pie Crust
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Ice Water
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
Chill the Dough
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, eggs, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
Add Pecans
Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the filling mixture.
Pour into Crust
Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Baking
Bake the Pie
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted should come out clean.
Cool the Pie
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
Serving
Serve with Ice Cream
Slice the cooled pecan pie and serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
