MOM'S SOUTHERN PECAN PIE



Mom's Southern Pecan Pie image

My Mother first made this pie in 1949. The recipe was on a can of pecans. (I wasn't born then, but evidently pecans used to be sold in cans.) She kept the can in the kitchen cabinet. For some reason she never wrote it down. It's been a family favorite for 4 generations.

PECAN PIE WITH MRS. KOSTYRA



Pecan Pie with Mrs. Kostyra image

As common as it is today, pecan pie is a relatively recent addition to the American table. No one knows exactly when it was invented, but since the 1940s -- when it was first popularized in "Joy of Cooking" and "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook" -- myriad pecan-pie recipes have emerged, including this sweet, rich version, brought to us by Martha's mother, Mrs. Kostyra.

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 9

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie, or frozen store-bought pastry shell
2 1/2 cups pecan halves
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If using homemade pate brisee, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit circle into a 9-inch pie plate being careful not to stretch dough too thin; create edges of choice. Transfer to freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Coarsely chop 1 1/4 cups pecans; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Whisk to combine. Add corn syrups and vanilla. Whisk until well combined. Add chopped pecans, and stir. Pour into prepared crust.
  • Arrange remaining 1 1/4 cups pecan halves decoratively on top of pie. Bake until crust is golden, filling is firm, and a cake tester inserted in center of pie comes out clean; 50 to 55 minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.

  • Use a pie plate with a removable bottom: This will make it easier to remove your pie from the pan once it's baked.
  • Don't overfill your pie crust: Leave about 1/2 inch of space around the edges of the crust so that the filling doesn't bubble over.
  • Bake your pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown: This will usually take about 45-50 minutes.
