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!

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggs
3/4 c sugar
1 c white karo syrup
2/3 stick butter, melted

1 c pecans (halves or chopped)

INGREDIENTS FOR RICHER PECAN PIE
3 large eggs
1 c sugar
1 c dark karo syrup
1 stick butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c pecans (halves or chopped)
1 9-inch pie shell, unbaked

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Beat eggs; add sugar and cream well.
  • 3. Add Karo syrup, melted butter, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into uncooked pie shell and cover with pecans. NOTE: Shield the crust with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning edges of crust.
  • 4. Bake about 40 to 55 minutes @ 350° or until it doesn't shake more than jello would.
  • 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.

MAMA'S PECAN PIE

This came from my mother-in-law who had long before I met my husband, passed away. He always talked about how he missed his Mama's pecan pie, I suprised him a few years ago after I had gotten my hands on his Mama's receipe and made it for him. I never miss a holiday without making this for him. WOW the hugs I get just from a pie...
