Pecan Pie

Two Pecan Pies I baked last Thanksgiving!

Pecan Pie I made before Christmas 2010

I want to share my Pecan Pie recipe with ya'll!  I grew up in the kitchen with both Grandmothers...  My Mother didn't know how to boil water when she married Daddy... While my sisters were chasing boys, I was learning how to cook!  I am so happy looking back at all those special memories we shared in the kitchen!  The recipe I am sharing today comes from my Mother's Mother..  I called her "Memmey".  She was a very sweet Godly southern lady.  What a wonderful cook Memmey was!  I miss her so much. 

Pecan Pie

1 stick butter, melted

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup light Karo Syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 Tablespoons self-rising flour

1 cup pecans, chopped or whole  * I prefer a rough chop.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  I  large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar.  Add the eggs one at a time & stir.  Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well blended.  Fold in pecans.  Pour into one deep-dish or two reg pie crusts.  I prefer the refrigerated pie crusts over the frozen varieties. 

Bake for 45 min- 1 hr.  Check your pie after 30 min.  If the pie crust is browning too much.  Cut a circle in aluminum foil to go around the pie crust only.
