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!

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest will give your pie the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Stir the filling just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help the pie to bake evenly.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the pie will be easier to slice.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and creamy touch to the pie.
