1 1/4 cups pecan halves

Stir in sugar and corn syrup. Cook over low heat 15 to 18 minutes, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved. Cool 1 hour.

Categories     Nut     Dessert     Bake

Yield 8-10 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

pie crust
Filling:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Make or buy your favorite pie shell. 2. Using a shiny pan (so you can see what's happening in the pan), melt the butter over medium to medium-high heat. Stir with wooden spoon and keep a close eye on it. Once it starts to brown it goes quickly, the trick is to catch it at a golden brown, before the little solids get too dark and burn. Typically it takes 2-4 minutes. Once browned, remove from heat immediately and pour into a bowl to cool. 3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 4. Combine, eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl. Whisk well to blend. Add the browned butter, whisk again until evenly combined. Add the pecans, stir. Pour the filling into the pie shell, use a fork to evenly distribute pecans. 5. Place pie on center rack of oven and bake for 10 minutes at 400. Reduce oven to 350 degrees, bake for 10 more minutes. Slowly slide rack out and put foil around the edges of piecrust so it doesn't burn, then rotate pie 180 degrees so it cooks evenly. Bake for another 15 to 20 minutes. When done the pie will have puffed slightly and developed cracks around the perimeter. Remove and cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality pecans. Look for pecans that are plump and have a light brown color.
  • Toasting the pecans before using them enhances their flavor. To toast pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Use unsalted butter for the pie crust. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming too salty.
  • When making the pie crust, be sure to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. If the butter is too warm, it will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking.
  • When baking the pie, use a pie shield or foil to protect the edges of the crust from burning.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Browned butter pecan pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery, flaky crust and rich, nutty filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
