Categories     Desserts

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 kosher salt
1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
2 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons ice water
2 cups pecan, halves, divided
¾ cup light corn syrup
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon kosher salt
dried bean

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
  • Using only your fingertips, pinch the cubes of butter into the flour, breaking up the butter as you go, until no large lumps remain. Shake the bowl to coax the large chunks of butter to the surface.
  • Mix the egg yolks and ice water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined.
  • Add the liquid to the flour mixture, reserving ¼ or so in case you don't need all of it--you don't want the pastry to be too wet. Quickly mix everything together with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more liquid to the driest parts of the dough if needed. The dough is ready when it holds together in a ball when squeezed in your palm.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface and bring together in a disc. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 days.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and unwrap the disc of chilled dough. Flour the top of the dough. Start to roll out the dough, turning every few rolls.. If any cracks form, smush them back together. Roll out the dough to a circle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick and place into a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the sides, then crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
  • Place a piece of parchment in the center of the pie crust and add the pie weights or dried beans. 9. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups (185 G) pecans, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and salt.
  • Carefully lift the parchment with the pie weights from the par-baked pie crust, then pour in the filling. Arrange the remaining ½ cup (62 G) pecans in concentric circles on top.
  • Return the pie to the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and continue baking for 40 minutes, until the filling is completely set. Let the pie cool completely.
  • Slice and serve the pie chilled or at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by T-fal

Categories     Bread Pudding

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf day-old French baguette
5 eggs
3 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups shelled pecan halves

Steps:

  • Cut the bread into cubes and let sit out about an hour to dry out a bit. Using day-old bread is perfect; the drier the bread cubes, the more yumminess they soak up!
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the eggs until they are combined. Add the milk, sugar, and vanilla and stir until combined.
  • Place the bread cubes in a baking pan and pour the milk and egg mixture over them.
  • Melt butter in a small microwave-proof bowl. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the pecans.
  • Pour this mixture over the bread and egg mixture, and gently fold. Don't mix it in thoroughly, just fold so the yummy pecan mixture forms into clumps throughout the bread pudding.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is slightly brown. The center will still be a little jiggly.
  • Allow to cool at least 20 minutes before serving. The egg mixture will continue to cook, and the bread will soak up more yumminess.

¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 pre-made pie doughs, 8-inch rounds
large egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup light corn syrup
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons butter, cubed and chilled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup toasted pecan pieces, plus more for garnish
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup dried cranberries, plus more for garnish
cookie cutter, 2 in (5 cm)

Steps:

  • Make the pie crust cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Unroll each pie dough round and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the dough to cover completely.

  • Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, vanilla, and salt until the butter is completely melted.
