BUTTERMILK PECAN PIE
A few years ago, my Husband (then boyfriend) requested pecan pie for his birthday. I found this recipe in an old Southern Junior League cookbook my mom gave me. It sounded good because it looked like it would be less sweet and syrupy than the usual and I was right! We liked it so much I told my mom about it and last year when the pecans came in, my dad requested she make this pie over and over. It says it is the family recipe prepared by a US Navy chef who cooked for such dignitaries as Harry S Truman and he refused to share this recipe until his retirement, when he allowed it to be published in a Navy newspaper. I'll list the recipe just as printed, however, I like to add more pecans (like twice as much).

BUTTERMILK PECAN PIE
This is the treasured "golden oldie" that my grandmother made so often whenever we'd come to visit. Grandma grew her own pecans, and we never tired of cracking them and picking out the meat when we knew we'd be treated to her special pie! -Mildred Sherrer, Fort Worth, Texas

BUTTERMILK PECAN PIE
This is a awsome twist on pecan pie. No need for karo, very simple to make. My dad is a natural born and bred southern man and he prefers this over the traditional pecan pie.

MAMA'S PECAN PIE - DEE DEE
This is a beautiful pie I was proud to display for our Thanksgiving Dinner. When I was cooking the mixture on the stove it almost smelled like butter toffee! I did shield the crust after I added the pecans to prevent the crust from burning. It turned out great!

- 5. I found this info online at: http://www.squidoo.com/perfect-pecan-pie#module156619723 WHAT MAKES MY PIE RUNNY? The first time I made pecan pie, it was perfect. The filling was gooey and delicious, not the least bit runny. Maybe it was beginner's luck, because the second time I made pecan pie, it was runny. The third time, it was more like pecan soup. The fourth time, I cooked it longer, which produced burnt pecan soup. So I asked questions and experimented. Whenever I planned to take one to a potluck supper, I made two pies--one for me to taste, to see if it was acceptable; and the other to share (or throw away, depending on how that first pie tasted). Eventually I got it right. Now I am so confident in my pecan pie baking skills that I only bake one pie, and take it to a party without even testing it first. Here's the thing: Pecan pie filling is like a custard without the milk. The eggs make it set up. Never use a store-bought crust in an aluminum pan. Measure your ingredients carefully, because baking is more science than art. Verify your oven temperature is really at 350. (Don't trust your dial.). And remove it from the oven when when a toothpick comes out with just a tiny bit of gooey goodness on it. if that still isn't enough, try one or more of these suggestions: •If you're using a frozen crust, try a fresh crust You don't need to add the extra moisture. •If you're cutting your cooking time short to avoid overbrowning, or cooking at less than 350 for the same reason, don't. If your crust is burning too soon, cover the edges with foil or with a pie crust protector. Remove it for the last fifteen minutes of baking. (See below for more information.) •Throw in a few extra pecans. In fact, that's a good idea even if you don't have trouble with runny pies. •Add a fourth egg or a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. Any of these options should make your pie filling more solid.
