Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups pecans
3 large or extra-large eggs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 tablespoon flour
1 nine-inch metal pie tin lined with pastry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on baking sheet and roast them for about 7 minutes, until toasted. Remove them from the baking sheet, and cool. Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs slightly, and whisk in the dark brown sugar and corn syrup. Whisk in the salt, butter, vanilla and bourbon. Mix flour with pecans, and add.
  • Prick the bottom of the pastry all over with the tines of a fork. Pour the filling into the crust, and put the pan on a flat baking sheet. Place on the lower level of the oven, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until filling is puffed and firm. Check after 20 minutes; if the crust is browning too quickly, loosely drape a piece of aluminum foil around the edges.
  • Remove to a rack, and serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream, creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.
