Time 3h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Best Pie Crust Ever, recipe follows
3/4 stick unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup agave nectar
3 large eggs
2 cups pecan halves (1/2 pound)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening, chilled, cut into small pieces
4 tablespoons (or more) ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a baking sheet on the middle rack.
  • Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edge, leaving 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under and lightly press against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively. Lightly prick the bottom all over with a fork. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, zest, salt, and agave nectar. Lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk in the butter and brown sugar mixture.
  • Put the pecans in the pie shell and pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over them. Place on the hot baking sheet and bake until the filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool for 1 hour before slicing and serving.
  • Blend the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water over the mixture. Process just until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather the dough into a ball and flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic. Chill 1 hour.

DEAR ABBY'S FAMOUS PECAN PIE



Dear Abby's Famous Pecan Pie image

This recipe by Abigail Van Buren (aka Pauline Phillips) is published from time to time in her "Dear Abby" column. Jeanne Phillips, the original Abby's daughter, and the current "Dear Abby" adds this tip: The original recipe stated that the pie should be baked 45-50 minutes in a preheated 350 degree gas oven. If an electric oven is used, it may be necessary to add 15-20 minutes to the baking time. (Begin testing the pie with a toothpick after 45 minutes.)

Once you've had it, you'll love making it. There are only a few recipes for this pie and it took me years of tweaking other recipes to come up with one that actually makes an edible bean pie. This recipe you can trust to make an awesome dessert.

AMERICAN PECAN PIES

Our favourite American dessert, perfected with a little kick of bourbon cream on the side

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Afternoon tea, Buffet, Dessert, Dinner, Supper, Treat

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

300g plain flour
150g melted butter
50g caster sugar
175g pecan halves
4 large eggs
85g golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp bourbon
50g butter , melted
85g light muscovado sugar
150ml whipping cream
2 tbsp bourbon
2 tbsp golden syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Work the flour, butter and sugar together with your hands until well mixed, then press onto the base and up the sides of six 10cm fluted tart tins. Put on a baking tray.
  • Reserve 36 pecan halves and roughly chop the rest. Beat together the eggs, sugar, syrup, vanilla, bourbon, melted butter and chopped pecans, and spoon into the tart cases. Top each one with 6 pecan halves, then bake for 20-25 mins until golden and set. The filling will rise up as it bakes, but will settle back as it cools. You can make these 2 days ahead and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • If you fancy a double shot of bourbon, serve the pies warm topped with this iced bourbon cream. Beat the whipping cream with the golden syrup and bourbon until softly stiff, then turn into a rigid container and freeze for up to 1 month. Serve straight from the container like ice-cream, or leave to soften for up to 15 mins for a softer, creamy version.

  • Let the pie cool completely before serving, as this will allow the filling to set properly.

Aunt Bea's Pecan Pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to make the best pecan pie possible.
