Best Old Fashioned Southern Pecan Pie Recipes

CLASSIC SOUTHERN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• In a mixing bowl combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, vanilla extract, melted butter, eggs and flour together with a whisk or spatula.
• Add the pecans to the bottom of a store bought pie shell.
• Line a sheet pan with foil and place the pie plate on the sheet pan. This will help with spills and it's easier to handle transferring the pie in and out of the oven.
• Pour the filling mixture over the pecans.
• Place the pie into the oven and then cover with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes covered. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes or until set.
• Remove from the oven and cool completely before serving. A pecan pie can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with a baking sheet on middle rack.
• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.

• Put pecans in pie shell and pour corn syrup mixture evenly over them. Bake on hot baking sheet until filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool completely.
