CLASSIC SOUTHERN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F

BASIC PECAN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the crust: Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
• Using only your fingertips, pinch the cubes of butter into the flour, breaking up the butter as you go, until no large lumps remain. Shake the bowl to coax the large chunks of butter to the surface.
• Mix the egg yolks and ice water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined.
• Add the liquid to the flour mixture, reserving ¼ or so in case you don't need all of it--you don't want the pastry to be too wet. Quickly mix everything together with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more liquid to the driest parts of the dough if needed. The dough is ready when it holds together in a ball when squeezed in your palm.
• Transfer the dough to a clean surface and bring together in a disc. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Lightly flour a clean surface and unwrap the disc of chilled dough. Flour the top of the dough. Start to roll out the dough, turning every few rolls.. If any cracks form, smush them back together. Roll out the dough to a circle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick and place into a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the sides, then crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
• Place a piece of parchment in the center of the pie crust and add the pie weights or dried beans. 9. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups (185 G) pecans, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and salt.
• Carefully lift the parchment with the pie weights from the par-baked pie crust, then pour in the filling. Arrange the remaining ½ cup (62 G) pecans in concentric circles on top.
• Return the pie to the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and continue baking for 40 minutes, until the filling is completely set. Let the pie cool completely.
• Slice and serve the pie chilled or at room temperature.
• Enjoy!

DEEP-DISH PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Roll out the pie crust, place into the prepared pan and prick the bottom with a fork. Fill the crust with chopped pecans. Transfer to the refrigerator until the filling is done.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, dark brown sugar, eggs and egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in the beer and allow the foam to settle.
• Stir the melted butter into the flour in a separate bowl until smooth and lump free. Whisk the butter mixture into the sugar filling until well combined.
• Remove the crust from the refrigerator and fill with the sugar mixture. Place the pie in the center of the oven and bake until the center is set, 50 to 55 minutes. It will still move a little but it won't roll in the pan. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before serving. Serve with the Caramel Sauce.
• In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water. Add the lemon juice, and brush down the sides of the pot with a wet pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals from the sides of the pot. Bring to a boil. When the sugar starts to turn brown, after about 7 minutes, slowly pour in the cream, whisking constantly. The sauce will bubble dramatically so be careful. When the cream is incorporated, return to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it has returned to a boil, remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, stirring until melted.
• Serve immediately or cool completely and store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week.
