     Yield: 6 servings

MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
          Cooking spray
 1 3/4 c  Pecans; chopped
     3 tb Unsalted butter; softened
     3 tb Light brown sugar
   1/4 ts Salt (optional)

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
     1 c  Brown sugar
     2 tb Corn starch
     2 tb A-P flour
     2 tb Butter
   1/4 ts Salt
     2    Egg yolks; beaten
   3/4 c  Sweetened condensed milk,
          - blended with:
   3/4 c  Water
     1 tb Vanilla extract
          Whipped cream

 Set the oven @ 375 F/190 C.

 Spray a 9" pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Mix
 together the chopped pecans, softened butter, brown
 sugar and salt using a fork in a medium bowl. Press the
 mixture into the pie plate evenly over the bottom and up
 the sides.

 Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until the nuts are
 browned and fragrant. Move the pie pan to a cooling
 rack.

 Mix together the brown sugar, corn starch, flour and salt
 in a double boiler, then add the butter. Bring water in
 the bottom pan to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir
 the ingredients in the top pan until they're combined.

 Slowly whisk in the sweetened condensed milk and water
 mixture. Whisk in the egg yolks, working quickly so they
 don't scramble (this is called tempering eggs). Stir the
 pudding mixture constantly until it's smooth and thick
 enough to coat the back of a spoon.

 Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla
 extract.

 Pour the pudding mixture into the baked pie crust. Bake
 it for 15 minutes at 300 F until the filling is warmed
 through and firm. Remove the pie to a cooling rack.

 The pecans from your crust may float up into the filling
 and end up on top. That's OK-the end result is still
 delicious.

 Once the pie has cooled to room temperature, cover it
 and chill it for several hours or overnight. Serve
 slices of the chilled pie plain or all Dolly-ed up with
 whipped cream.
