Pecan pie is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This sinfully sweet treat is made with a creamy filling made from sugar, eggs, butter, and corn syrup, and filled with pecans. The filling is poured into an unbaked pie crust and baked until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Pecan pie is often served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. The origin of pecan pie is uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in the Southern United States in the 19th century. Pecans have been a staple ingredient in Southern cooking for centuries, and their rich, buttery flavor pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the filling. Today, pecan pie is enjoyed all over the United States and is a popular dish at holiday gatherings and special occasions.

THE BEST PECAN PIE



The Best Pecan Pie image

This pie delivers plenty of classic flavors like brown sugar, vanilla and toasted nuts. We found that bourbon made a welcome addition. The alcohol bakes off leaving behind irresistible notes of smoke and caramel. Our all-butter crust perfectly balances the sweetness of the filling.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h35m

Yield 1 pie or about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook?s Note)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon fine salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups chopped toasted pecans
1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • For the crust: Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter. (If the flour/butter mixture gets warm, refrigerate it for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Add the egg and stir the dough together with a fork or by hand in the bowl. If the dough is dry, sprinkle up to a tablespoon more of cold water over the mixture.
  • Alternatively, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the metal blade until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with bean-size bits of butter, about 10 times. Add the egg and pulse 1 to 2 times; don't let the dough form into a ball in the machine. (If the dough is very dry add up to a tablespoon more of cold water.) Remove the bowl from the machine, remove the blade and bring the dough together by hand.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll the dough on a lightly-floured surface into a 12-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving about an extra inch hanging over the edge. Tuck the overhanging dough underneath itself to form a thick
  • edge that is even with the rim. Flute the edge as desired. Freeze the pie shell for 30 minutes.
  • Arrange the racks in the center and lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Put a piece of parchment paper or foil over the pie shell and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on a baking sheet on the center rack until the dough is set, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and lift the sides of the parchment to remove the beans. Continue baking until the pie shell is lightly golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • While the crust is baking make the filling: Combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and, stirring constantly, continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts, bourbon and vanilla. Set it aside to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. (If the crust has cooled, return it to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.) Whisk the beaten eggs into the filling until smooth. Put the pie shell on a baking sheet and pour the filling into the hot crust.
  • Bake on the lower rack until the edges are set but the center is still slightly loose, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the edges get very dark, cover them with aluminum foil half way during baking.) Cool on a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

BASIC PECAN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Basic Pecan Pie Recipe by Tasty image

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without classic pecan pie on the dessert table! Our recipe uses the classic (and foolproof) Tasty pie crust to envelop the sweet and nutty filling.

Provided by Chris Salicrup

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 kosher salt
1 ¼ sticks unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
2 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons ice water
2 cups pecan, halves, divided
¾ cup light corn syrup
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon kosher salt
dried bean

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!

PECAN PIE FOR 2



Pecan Pie for 2 image

Based on Debby Maugans Nakos's Southern Pecan Pie in her Small-Batch Baking book. She gave directions for making a spiked whipped cream, but this pie is so rich and wonderful as it is, I can't imagine it needing a topping. The pecan halves can be found easily and inexpensively in the baking section of your grocery store in 1/2 cup bags. I'm giving the author's option of using bourbon in the pie, but I did not use it myself. Debby recommends Southern Comfort for the pie, but if you use another bourbon, she suggests you might want to add another tablespoon of sugar. For the pie crust recipe/information, please see Pie Crusts for 2, I have also posted.

Categories     Pie

Time 35m

Yield 2 individual pies, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pie crusts, individual-sized and partially baked
6 1/3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for ease, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
1 large egg
1/4 cup corn syrup, I used light corn syrup
1 tablespoon Southern Comfort (please see description) (optional)
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup pecan halves

Steps:

  • Make sure you have a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and bourbon (optional). Mix until everything is well blended.
  • Place half of the pecans in each crust. Pour the filling evenly into both crusts. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Note: This recipe assumes you use pie crusts partially baked in a 4 by 1-3/4 inch tart pan or jumbo muffin tin. I made mine in 4 by 1-1/2 inch cake pans. I think next time I make this, if I am pressed for time, I may cut a 6-inch round from refrigerated pie crust and use in my pans to see how it works.
