Best 3 Louisiana Pecan Pie Recipes

LA LOUISIANA PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Completely pave shell with nutmeats, crowding them in. Chill the shell for at least a half hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the sugar, syrup and butter in a heavy saucepan. Whisk over low heat just until the butter is melted and ingredients blended. Remove from heat.
• Beat the eggs with the salt until completely mixed. Beat in lukewarm syrup mixture, then the vanilla and rum.
• Brush the rim of the shell with cream. Pour in filling mixture. (Pecans will start floating.)
• Cover the edges of the shell with aluminum foil. Set the pie on lower rack and bake 40 minutes. Cover center with another sheet of foil if it starts to brown too rapidly.
• Remove foil from the edges and continue to bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling puffed up. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes and serve pie warm or at room temperature.

LOUISIANA BROWNED-BUTTER PECAN PIE

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.
