Title: Best Pecan Pie
Categories: Pastry, Nuts, Pies, Desserts
Yield: 6 servings
Dough for single-crust pie
1/2 c Butter
2 1/2 c Coarse chopped pecans
3/4 c Packed brown sugar
3/4 c Maple syrup
1/2 ts Salt
3 lg Eggs; beaten
2 tb Whiskey or bourbon; opt
2 ts Vanilla extract
Whipped cream; opt
Ground cinnamon; opt
Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick
circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2
in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while
preparing filling.
In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt butter over
medium heat. Add pecans; cook, stirring constantly,
until very fragrant and pecans start to brown, 4-5
minutes. Remove pecans with a slotted spoon, reserving
butter in pan. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup and
salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2
minutes. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, whisk a small
amount of the hot mixture into eggs; return all to the
pan, whisking constantly. Stir whiskey, if desired, and
vanilla into brown sugar mixture; stir in pecans. Pour
into crust.
Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out
clean, 55-60 minutes. Cover edge with foil during the
last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.
Cool on a wire rack. If desired, top with whipped cream
and cinnamon. Refrigerate leftovers.
