Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Butter

    Add 1/2 cup of chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough begins to hold together. You may not need all the water.

  4. 4

    Chill Dough

    Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

  5. 5

    Roll Out Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pie pan and press it gently against the bottom and sides.

  6. 6

    Pre-bake Crust

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and pre-bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Filling Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of light corn syrup, 3 eggs, 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until smooth.

  2. 8

    Add Pecans

    Stir in 1.5 cups of chopped pecans into the filling mixture until evenly distributed.

  3. 9

    Fill Pie Crust

    Pour the pecan filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.

  4. 10

    Bake Pie

    Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

  5. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve plain or with whipped cream.
