BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust: Chill the butter in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Pulse the pecans 6 to 7 times in a food processor or until finely ground. Add the flour and salt, and pulse an additional 4 to 5 times. Add the butter and pulse 6 to 7 times, until the texture looks mealy. Remove the lid of the food processor, add the water and bourbon, and pulse 5 to 6 times until the mixture holds together when squeezed and feels like dough. Transfer the dough to a gallon-sized zip-top bag, squeeze together until it forms a ball, then press into a rounded disk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• To assemble and bake the pie: Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk the eggs, sugar, golden syrup, butter, bourbon, vanilla and salt together until combined. Set aside.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Cut along two sides of the zip-top bag, open the bag to expose the dough and sprinkle both sides very lightly with flour. Cover with the bag and roll out with a rolling pin to an 11-inch circle. Open the bag again, and sprinkle the top of the dough with flour. Place the dough into a 9 1/2 to 10-inch tart pan that is 2 inches deep. Gently press the dough into the sides of the pan, crimping and trimming the edges as necessary.
• Evenly sprinkle the 6 ounces of chopped pecans in the crust and pour the filling on top. Bake for 20 minutes. Place the remaining 2 ounces of whole pecans in a border on the edge of the filling. Bake 10 minutes, until the center of the pie should reach 200 degrees F, and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a cooling rack to room temperature before serving, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Mix the salt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and orange peel together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the nuts in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until they just start to brown and smell toasted. Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the spice mixture and stir to combine. Once combined, add both sugars and water, stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the nuts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheet pan and separate them with a fork or spatula. Allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage. Can be stored for up to 3 weeks. Yield: 1 pound.

BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together eggs, sugar, corn syrups, butter, bourbon, vanilla and salt until well blended.
• Prick the sides and bottom of the pie shell with a fork at 1/2-inch intervals. Spread the pecans on the bottom and pour the mixture over them. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until just set around the edges but still slightly loose in the center. (It will continue to set as it cools.)
• Place on a rack to cool slightly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Mix in brown sugar. Add corn syrup and mix. Add butter, bourbon, half-and-half, vinegar, flour, and salt and beat until well mixed, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Toast pecans in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Place evenly in the pie crust. Pour filling mixture over. Do not overfill; you may have a little left over. Place pie on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 25 minutes more. Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent overbrowning if desired. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

BOURBON-FLAVORED PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir the sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar melts. Remove from heat. Add the butter and let melt, slowly stirring with a rubber spatula to keep the mixture from getting foamy. Gently stir in the vanilla, bourbon and salt.
• Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Gradually add the sugar mixture, whisking until incorporated.
• Lightly mist four 4-inch individual pie pans with cooking spray. Unfold the pie dough and cut into quarters; press each piece into a pan and crimp the edges with your fingers. Place on a baking sheet. Divide the pecans evenly among the pie shells and pour the filling on top.
• Bake the pies until golden and firm, about 45 minutes. Cool completely on a rack, then carefully remove from the pans. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Follow the instructions on page 120, line a 9 inch pie pan with the dough and cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 400 degree.
• Remove the plastic wrap and line the pastry shell with parchment paper or aluminum with pie weights.
• Bake until the pastry seems set, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil and set the pie shell aside on a baking sheet.
• Reduce brown sugar and eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk in the corn syrup melted butter, bourbon, vanilla, and salt and whisk to combine.
• Arrange the pecans in pan and pour in the filing.
• Bake the pie on the baking sheet until the sides of the filling are puffed but the center slightly indented, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Transfer the pie to a wire cooling rack.
• Let stand until warm, or cool completely.
• Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Serve at room temperature.
• The pecans should be coarsely chopped- whole pecans make the pie impossible to cut.
• Serve the pecan pie warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside, or with a whipped cream.
• Dark corn syrup and a splash of bourbon make this a pecan pie with backbone.

BOURBON PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor, or a large bowl if using a pastry blender. Pulse or whisk until the mixture is combined.
• Add the butter and pulse until most of the butter is broken into pea-size pieces, about 15 pulses. There will be some larger pieces of butter, and that's a good thing. If using a pastry blender, blend the butter until it's pea size.
• Add the cold water and vinegar to a cup and pour the liquid over the crumbly flour-butter mixture. Pulse until it looks like tiny clumps (like space dots ice cream), and there are no large pockets of flour. If using a pastry blender, use a large rubber spatula for this step, folding until no large pockets of flour remain.
• Tip the mixture onto your work surface and use a light touch to gather the dough together and pat it down until it's about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then pat it back down to a 1-inch block. Repeat twice, then pat and gather the dough into 2 round discs, smoothing the sides so they aren't dry and crumbly. Wrap the discs tightly in plastic and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, and up to 3 days.
• When ready to par-bake the pie crust, preheat oven to 350°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of pie dough to an 11-inch circle, and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Fit the dough into the pie plate, trimming any edge overhang that's greater than 1 inch.
• Prick the dough all over with the tines of a fork. Fit a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper on the crust, leaving enough overhang so that you use the edges to lift it out later. (I like to use foil because I can easily cover the edges to prevent them from cooking too quickly, but parchment paper works, too.) Fill with pie weights or dried beans so the dough holds its shape and doesn't puff up.
• Bake on the middle rack until the bottom of the crust is dried out, about 20 minutes. You know it's ready if, when you lift out the foil or parchment, it doesn't stick. Carefully remove the pie crust from the oven by sliding it out and holding it from the bottom, so that you don't disturb the sides or edges of the crust (best to use two oven mitts). Carefully remove the parchment paper or foil and the pie weights or beans. Set the pan on a cooling rack for the crust to cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, cornmeal, vanilla, and salt.
• Combine the cane syrup, sugars, and bourbon in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon or whisk to stir continually. When the syrup starts to boil, cook an additional 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
• Use one hand to continually whisk the egg mixture and use the other hand to slowly pour one-third of the hot syrup into the egg mixture. Continually whisking tempers the eggs so they can be heated without scrambling. Pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the syrup, continuing to whisk constantly. Stir in the pecans and set aside for 30 minutes to let the syrup mixture cool.
• If you've turned the oven off, preheat to 350° and place a rack in the middle of the oven.
• When the syrup is at room temperature, pour it into the par-baked pie crust and bake until the center of the pie is just set and doesn't jiggle, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
• Remove the pie from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours so the filling can firm up. Slice and serve.
