Pecan Pie

Thanksgiving isn’t the same without pecan pie. This is the recipe Nina always used form the Auburn cookbook. Of course, she made some improvements, which are written in the margins.

What you need:

  • 3 whole eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 unbaked deep-dish pie shell
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 cup broken pecan halves

Beat eggs, and add melted butter, flour, vanilla, salt, sugar and syrup

Sprinkle nuts over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell

Gently pour syrup mixture over the nuts

Bake in a hot over – 425 ° for 10 minutes

Reduce heat to 325 ° and bake for another 40 minutes
