Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Butter

    Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

  3. 7

    Add Pecans

    Fold in the chopped pecans into the filling mixture until evenly distributed.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pie pan and trim any excess.

  2. 9

    Add Filling

    Pour the pecan filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  3. 10

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is caramelized. The pie should jiggle slightly in the center.

  4. 11

    Cool Before Serving

    Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
