PIES – PART 3

Another pie that I have made in the past, but not recently, is Pecan Pie.  I really do like a good Pecan Pie, and this recipe makes one of the best Pecan pies I’ve ever eaten.  It was given to me by a friend – another U.S. Air Force wife – while we were living in northern Maine (Loring AFB) in 1967-1968.  She is a good ole Mississippi girl, and knows her stuff when it comes to baking.

It’s definitely a good recipe for Pecan Pie; if that is your taste.  Give it a try:

PECAN PIE

Beat well:     3 eggs

Add:                    1 cup granulated sugar

                   ¾ cup dark Karo syrup

                   ¼ cup butter

                   1 tsp vanilla

                   1 Tbsp cold water

Beat well.

Add 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans.

Put in uncooked pie shell.

Bake at 370̊ for 45 minutes or until inserted knife comes out clean.

FOR DEEP DISH PIE OR 10″

Add:              1 extra egg

Then add:    ⅓ cup sugar

                   ¼ cup dark Karo

                   1 Tbsp butter

                   ⅓ tsp vanilla

                   ⅓ Tbsp water

Also add:      ¼ – ⅓ cup pecans

Bake at least one (1) hour 10 or 15 minutes.
