Crust

Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of unsalted butter (cut into small cubes), 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Carefully transfer it to the pie pan, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.

  5. 5

    Pre-Bake the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place pie weights or dried beans in the crust and pre-bake for 10 minutes. Remove weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of corn syrup, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until smooth.

  2. 7

    Add Eggs and Flavorings

    Add 3 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until fully combined.

  3. 8

    Incorporate Pecans and Butter

    Stir in 1 cup of chopped pecans and 0.25 cups of melted butter until evenly distributed.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 9

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust. Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

  2. 10

    Cool the Pie

    Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
