Ingredients
- cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups corn syrup (I use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light)
- 4 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1⁄2 cups pecans, coarsely broken
- 1 unbaked deep dish pie shell
Preparation
Step 1
In saucepan boil sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
In large bowl beat eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.
At this point I like to strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth and lump free.
Stir in butter, vanilla, and pecans and pour into crust.
Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes or until set.
