Yield 1 9" Pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Large eggs 3
¾ Cup (6 oz) Water
1 ¾ Cup, well packed (14 oz) Medium brown sugar
½ tsp Salt
½ Stick Unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon Brandy or Rum (optional)
2 tsp Vanilla extract
2 Cups (8 oz) Pecan pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk together the eggs and water until very well blended. Add the brown sugar and salt. Melt the butter and add to the mixture. Add the Brandy and vanilla extract. Place the pecans in the pie shell and pour the custard filling over the pecans, the pecans will automatically float to the surface. Since nine inch pie shells vary in depth and thus volume, not all the custard filling may fit. By not mixing the pecans into the custard filling you will possibly prevent throwing away extra custard filling containing pecans. Place in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake until the center of the pie is set and no longer trembles when touched, about 65 minutes.
