Method
Crust
- 1
Prepare the Crust
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2
Add Ice Water
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just holds together. Do not overmix.
- 3
Chill the Dough
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- 4
Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess dough from the edges.

Prepare the Filling
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Add Eggs and Vanilla
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- 8
Add Pecans
Stir in the pecan halves until evenly distributed.

Assemble the Pie
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading the pecans evenly.

Bake the Pie
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.

Cool and Serve
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. Serve as is or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
