Betty's Best Pecan Pie image

I know everyone out there has a pecan pie recipe, but this is the best I have ever baked and I have tried many. Most recipes call for 1/2 tsp vanilla, this one calls for 1 1/2 tsp.

Categories     Pies

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter, melted
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 c dark karo syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 medium eggs, slightly beaten
1 c chopped pecans
1 9 inch pie crust

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt stick of butter in glass bowl. Blend sugar, syrup, salt and vanilla and add to butter. Blend well.
  • 2. Add beaten eggs slowly to sugar mixture stirring gently as you pour them in. Fold in pecans and pour into unbaked pie shell.
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and then bake at 325 degrees for additional 30 to 40 minutes until middle is set.(if the middle is a little shakey after baking time, pie will firm as it cools). You may want to put a pie shield over edges of crust after it browns to keep it from getting to brown. You can buy them at Wal Mart or most department stores.(Very handy to have)
