Pecan Pie

Pecan Pie

Ingredients

• 1 Pastry for Single-Crust Pie
  
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
  
• 1 cup corn syrup
  
• ⅔ cup sugar
  
• ⅓ cup butter or margarine, melted
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  
• 1 ¼ cup pecan halves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pie crust. Trim; crimp edge as desired.
2. For filling, combine eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in pecan halves. ( I melt the butter, sugar and corn syrup in a pan)
3. Place the pastry-lined pie plate on the oven rack. Carefully pour the filling into the pastry shell.
4. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of the pie with foil. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours.
