Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter 3 (9 inch) pans. Divide 2 cups chopped pecans evenly between the pans. Shake to coat bottoms and sides of pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, shortening and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the yolks one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine the flour and baking soda and beat into creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Divide batter equally into prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Invert layers onto wire racks lined with wax paper. Brush tops and sides of cake layers with 2/3 cup corn syrup, and cool completely.
- Make the Filling: In a large saucepan, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in 4 egg yolks, half-and-half, 3/4 cup corn syrup and salt. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Continue boiling, whisking constantly for 1 minute, or until thickened. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter and vanilla. Chill.
- Assemble the cake: Place first layer on serving plate, pecan side up. Spread with half of the filling. Place second layer, pecan side up, on filling. Spread with remaining filling. Top with remaining cake layer, pecan side up.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality pecans.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the pecans by hand, but be sure to do so finely.
- Make sure the butter is cold when you add it to the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
- Don't overmix the dough. Once the ingredients are just combined, stop mixing.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- When you're rolling out the dough, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface.
- Don't pre-bake the pie crust. Simply place the filling in the unbaked crust and bake the pie according to the recipe instructions.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.
Conclusion:
French pecan pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and crunchy pecans, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give French pecan pie a try.
