Method

Crust Preparation

1

Make the Pie Crust

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2

Add Ice Water

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

3

Roll Out the Dough

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

4

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

Roll and Fit the Dough

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

Filling Preparation

6

Prepare the Filling

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the corn syrup and brown sugar until combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

7

Mix in Eggs and Vanilla

Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

8

Add Pecans

Stir in the pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Baking

9

Pour Filling into Crust

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

10

Bake the Pie

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

11

Cool and Serve

Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
