Pecan Pie

Ingredients ■1 whole Unbaked Pie Crust (I Use "sylvia's Perfect Pie Crust" Recipe ■1 cup White Sugar ■3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar ■1/2 teaspoon Salt ■1 cup Corn Syrup ■3/4 teaspoons Vanilla ■1/3 cup Melted Butter (salted) ■3 whole Eggs, Beaten ■1 cup (heaping) Chopped Pecans Preparation Instructions First, whip up your pie crust. Next, mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl. Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Pour syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake pie at 350ยบ for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful not to burn the crust or pecans. NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE OVEN. If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20 minute or until set. Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe. Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75! Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.
