Pecan Pie
How to make Pecan Pie
So here is the list of all ingredients used to make the easiest pecan pie ever:
A pre-made pie crust, I prefer the homemade but you can also use a store-bought.
3 large eggs, at room temp. You need to beat them well.
120 ml.Of light corn syrup.
100 grams.Of light brown sugar packed.
100 grams.Of granulated sugar.
60 grams.Of unsalted melted butter, slightly cooled.
A small spoon and half.Of pure vanilla extract.
175 grams.Of chopped pecans.
METHOD OF WORK:
Step 1:
Arrange an oven rack in the oven’s bottom third position. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
Step 2:
Pie dough should be rolled out to approximately 12 inches in diameter before transferring it to a 9-inch pie plate and carefully fitting it into the dish, trimming the corners if there is any extra dough.
Step 3:
While the oven is preheating, place the pie plate in the refrigerator and let the dough chill for 15 to 20 minutes while the pie dish is cooling.
Step 4:
As soon as the oven is ready, take the pie dish from the refrigerator, decorate the borders, and line the pie plate with parchment paper or aluminum foil, being careful to cover the bottom and both sides completely. Fill with pie weights, pressing them up against the edges as well as the top of the pie shell.
Step 5:
Bake for 15 minutes in the bottom third of the oven, with the pie weights, or until the edges of the crust are beginning to gently brown.
Step 6:
As soon as you take the pan from the oven, gently peel away the parchment paper (or foil) and pie weights. Continue baking for another 6 to 8 minutes or until the bottom of the crust seems dry. Remove from oven and set aside.
Step 7:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Reduce the temperature of the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 8:
Mix the eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until everything is well blended. Whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract until everything is thoroughly mixed, then fold in the chopped pecans until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 9:
Pour the pecan pie filling into the heated, pre-baked pie crust and bake for another 15 minutes. If desired, use aluminum foil or a pie crust shield to protect the sides of the pie (I prefer to add mine at this point, but you can wait until the edges start to brown more than add one).
Step 10:
Continue to bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 375°F, or until the top of the pie is set, by placing the pie in the bottom third of the oven once again. The pie should be covered with aluminum foil if the top starts to brown too much before it is done baking.
Step 11:
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool fully at room temperature before cutting it into slices. After that, either slice and serve immediately, or cover firmly and chill until ready to serve.
