Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, trim the edges, and crimp as desired. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the corn syrup and sugar until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then add eggs, vanilla, and salt, mixing well.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Pie

    Spread the pecan halves evenly over the prepared pie crust. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are covered.

  3. 5

    Bake the Pie

    Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
