Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg yolk
3 large eggs
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter extract
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped pecans
1/2 cup toffee bits

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Whisk the egg yolk with 1/4 cup ice water; add 2 tablespoons to the food processor and pulse a couple of times. Add the remaining egg mixture and pulse a few more times until the dough just comes together but is still crumbly. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla and butter extracts, lemon juice, salt, pecans and toffee bits in a large bowl until combined. Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the crust is deep golden and the filling is set around the edge but still jiggly in the center, 55 minutes to 1 hour. (Tent the crust with foil if it browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold leaf lard, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup toffee bits
1 cup chopped pecans
22 pecan halves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in lard and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about the size of peas. Sprinkle with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix lightly with a fork after each addition, until mixture is moistened. Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and shape into a flattened disk. Wrap in plastic; transfer to refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a pastry cloth and roll out dough on cloth, using a covered rolling pin, to a 12-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold under and crimp edges.
  • Make the filling: Preheat oven with a rack set in the lower third to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, salt, vanilla, almond extract, toffee bits, and chopped pecans.
  • Pour filling into pie crust. Top with pecans by evenly spacing 14 of them around the outer edge of pie filling. Make a second row by evenly spacing seven pecans in a smaller circle in the center; place 1 pecan in center.
  • Transfer pie to oven; bake for 20 minutes. Cover with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and continue baking until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup or 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup lyle's golden syrup
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons Bourbon
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1/3 cup very finely chopped toasted pecans
2 cups toasted pecan halves
9 inches pie crusts, blind baked
1/2 cup crushed chocolate-covered toffee bits

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven, set a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately whisk in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and Lyle's Golden Syrup until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. One at a time, whisk in the eggs. Whisk in the bourbon, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the chopped pecans.
  • Sprinkle half of the pecan halves in the piecrust, followed by the toffee candy pieces, and then the remaining pecan halves. Pour the syrup mixture over all.
  • Put the pie on the heated baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F Bake until set, 45 to 55 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. When the pan is nudged, the center of the pie will no longer wobble, but the whole pie will jiggle just slightly, and the filling will bubble at the edges.
  • Transfer to a rack and cool completely before serving. The pie can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • To make the pecans even more flavorful, toast them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring once.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan instead.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 15 minutes before filling it.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from becoming runny.

Conclusion:

This delicious English toffee pecan pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. With its buttery crust, creamy filling, and crunchy topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
