Pecan Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Pie Crust for One-Crust Pie
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup Lyle's Golden Syrup
  • ⅓ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (½ stick)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Line 9-inch pie pan with pie crust. Raise and crimp edges.
  • Beat eggs in large bowl, using mixer or by hand. Add brown sugar, syrup, salt, melted butter, and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
  • Put chopped pecans in pie crust. Pour egg mixture over pecans.
  • Place in middle rack of oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325° F and back until nearly set, approx. 25-30 minutes. Do not overcook; the filling should still quiver when you remove the pie from the oven.
  • Let cool to room temperature before serving.
